11 Fibre channel port, 4Gb/s, LEDs (see Table 5 and Table 6)          
Notes:
  1. LED off indicates port above and port below LED are both not "Ready".
  2. LED on solid indicates port above and port below LED are both "Ready" (operational).
  3. If LED is blinking 0.75 sec ON and 0.25 sec OFF, then only the port above the LED is "Ready".
    If LED is blinking 0.25 sec ON and 0.75 sec OFF, then only the port below the LED is failing.

Fibre channel host card (4 Gb/s or 8 Gb/s) port LEDs

Table 5 and Table 6 provide detailed information on Fibre Channel host card port LEDs.
Note: Do not use visual symptoms to replace the host adapter cards. Only replace them when they are:
  • Listed in a serviceable event FRU list, OR
  • Isolated in an isolation procedure MAP
