SAN Volume Controller 2145-SV1 Ethernet port LEDs

Ethernet link and activity LEDs indicate the status of each Ethernet port.

An Ethernet-link LED indicates that the node is communicating on the network that is connected to the port.
An Ethernet-activity LED indicates an active connection on the port.

Ethernet ports on the system board

The operator-information panel LEDs refer to the Ethernet ports that are mounted on the system board (Figure 1).

1 10 Gbps Ethernet port 1
2 10 Gbps Ethernet port 2
3 10 Gbps Ethernet port 3

The status of these ports is also indicated by LEDs beside each port (Figure 2).

The Ethernet-link LED indicates that the node is communicating on the network that is connected to the port. The Ethernet-activity LED indicates an active connection on the port.

Ethernet ports on a 10 Gbps Ethernet adapter

If the SAN Volume Controller 2145-SV1 is equipped with a 10 Gbps Ethernet adapter, the port activity is not reflected on the activity LEDs of the operator-information panel. The activity of those ports is indicated by LEDs on the adapter itself, which are visible from the rear of the SAN Volume Controller 2145-SV1 (as shown in Figure 3). The adapter has two LEDs per port, arranged one above the other. These pairs of LEDs are arranged in the same order as the ports.
