7-1

This section provides instructions for verifying that the software has been properly 
installed, the drivers are loaded, and that the fabric is active and ready to use. 
Information on adapter performance tuning is also provided.

The LEDs function as link and data indicators once the InfiniPath software has 
been installed, the driver has been loaded, and the fabric is being actively 
managed by a subnet manager.

Table 7-1

 describes the LED states. The green LED indicates the physical link 

signal; the amber LED indicates the link. The green LED normally illuminates first. 
The normal state is Green On, Amber On. The QLE7240 and QLE7280 have an 
additional state, as shown in 

Table 7-1

.

Green OFF
Amber OFF

The switch is not powered up. The software is neither 
installed nor started. Loss of signal. 
Verify that the software is installed and configured with 
ipath_control -i. If correct, check both cable con-

nectors. 

Green ON
Amber OFF

Signal detected and the physical link is up. Ready to talk 
to SM to bring the link fully up. 
If this state persists, the SM may be missing or the link 
may not be configured.
Use ipath_control -i to verify the software state. If 

all host channel adapters are in this state, then the SM is 
not running. Check the SM configuration, or install and 
run opensmd.
