Status Indicators

Supervisor Module Status Indicators

The supervisor displays switch component status and contains Ethernet management and console ports. The supervisor location is on the Front Panels of the switch.

The supervisor provides one serial console port, one Ethernet management port, and one USB port. Four LEDs on the top edge report system status, fan status, power status, and switch module status. The following figure shows the supervisor module status LEDs.

Supervisor Status LEDs

The following table interprets the states of the LED indicators on the supervisor module. When error conditions are indicated, refer to LEDs on the specified components to determine the condition’s source.

Table 1. Supervisor LED States
LED Name LED State Module State
Power Supply Green All powered modules are operating normally.
Red At least one module has failed.
System Green All linecards are operating normally.
Red At least one linecard has failed.
Switch Card Green Module is operating normally.
Red Module has failed.
Fan Amber At least one fan is missing or has failed.
  Green All modules are operating normally.
  Red There are insufficient functional fans installed in the switch.

(1): If all Status LEDs are OFF, check the following: power feeds are live, power supplies are installed, Switch Card is properly seated, and Supervisor is properly seated. The system will not power up unless all four of these conditions are valid.

Linecard Module Indicators

Each linecard module provides one status LED plus LEDs for each port on the card.

The following figure displays the status LED and port LEDs on the DCS-7388-16CD linecard. Arrows indicate the port status being displayed by the corresponding port status LED.

LED State Status
Off Port link is down for enabled interfaces.
Green Port link is up for enabled interfaces and all links are good.
Yellow (amber/orange) Port is disabled in software for all interfaces or a link is bad.

Fan Module Status Indicators

The fan modules are inserted into the switch card module. Each switch contains one switch card and five fan modules accessible from the Rear Panels of the switch.

The fan module indicator is displayed in the following figure. The fan handle color indicates the airflow direction. All fan modules must have the same color handle.
Note: The orientation of the fan module as inserted in the switch may be different from the one shown.

The following table interprets the states of the Fan Status LED.

Table 5. Fan and switch card LED States
LED State Status
Off The module is inserted but not receiving power – it may not be properly seated.
Green The module is operating normally.
Red The module has failed.

Power Supply Status Indicators

Power Supply LEDs are on power supply modules. The power supply modules for all switches are accessible from the Rear Panels of the switch.

The following figure displays a power supply module.

The power supply handle indicates the power supply airflow direction. Verify the airflow direction of all fan and power modules. All modules should have the same color handles.

LED Status
Green Power Supply module operating normally.
Off No AC power to the module.
Red Module has faulted.
Blinking Green

PSU has AC power but hasn't been enabled by the system - indicates that either the power supply or the Switch Module isn't fully inserted.
