LEDs

You can perform the following check on LEDs that assist you with the troubleshooting process:

Chassis LED

The LEDs indicate whether each type of module (supervisor modules, line cards, fabric modules, fan trays, and power supplies) is fully functional or have a fault condition.

Table 1. Chassis LED Descriptions
LED Color Status

ATTN (Attention)

Blue

The operator has activated this LED to identify this chassis.

Off

The chassis is not functional.

Port Status LEDs

Each port on N9K-X98900CD-A (only) has an LED. The following table describes port status LEDs.

Fault

Red

Output voltage is out of the specified range, or a fan has failed, or internal fault.

Flashing red

Firmware upgrade in-progress.

ATTN (Attention)

Flashing blue

User configured action config hw-module attention-led location 0/PTx/PMy.

Off

No user configuration is set.

1 Sleep mode is not applicable for DC-60 power module.

Fan Tray LEDs

The fan tray LEDs are located on the top portion of the module.

Status

ATTN (Attention)

Flashing Blue

The operator has activated this LED to identify the fan tray in the chassis.

Off

The operator had not activated the LED to identify the fan tray in the chassis.

FT STS

Amber

The fan tray is powered on.

Green

The fan tray is operational.

Flashing amber

The module has minor alarm.

Flashing red

The module has active major or critical alarms.

Flashing green

FPD upgrade in-progress.

Off

No power to the fan tray.

FC STS

Amber

The fabric cards are powered on and is in one of the following states:

  • Either one or more fabric cards behind this fan tray is not operational.

  • Either one or more fabric cards behind this fan tray have minor, major or critical alarm.

Green

  • One of the fabric modules is operational and other one not present.

  • Both fabric cards behind this fan tray are operational.

Off

If both the fabric modules behind this fan tray are plugged out (or not present).

Temperature Warning Label

Every fan tray has a temperature warning label beside its handle. The temperature warning label is temperature sensitive. At normal operating temperatures (less than 55°C), the warning label has a black background with black edges. At temperatures above 55°C, the background color changes to white and the edges’ color changes to red.

Amber

The system is running in holdover or free-run mode and it is not synchronized to an external interface.

Off

The centralized frequency or time and phase distribution is not enabled.

Fabric Module LEDs

The fabric modules are located behind the fan trays.


Note


The fabric modules are located behind the fan tray. Therefore, the fabric module LEDs are seen when the fan tray is removed.
