Fibre Channel host card port LEDs

Table 9, and Table 10 provide detailed information on Fibre Channel host card port LEDs.
Important: Do not replace host adapter cards based on visual symptoms that are displayed in the LEDs. Replace them only when they are:
  • Listed in a serviceable event FRU list, OR
  • Isolated in an isolation procedure MAP
Note: In the following tables, LED terms are:
  • Slow flashes are 1 per second
  • Fast flashes are 4-5 per second
  • Flashing is very fast flashing; the LED may look dimly lit
