Q-Logic MKII-BASE16 Manuel D’Utilisation

For example:

•

If the only problem with the Switch is one or more bad GBICs, the POST
tests will not detect the problem at power-up because they do not test the
GBICs. The Continuous Tests, however, will detect the problem and blink a
heartbeat error code of eight (8) blinks to indicate a GBIC test failure. In
this case, when you return the Continuous Test button to the IN position the
Switch will read its error log and blink the Logged-in LED for the failing
GBICs.

If the Heartbeat LED continues to blink its normal heartbeat while the tests are
running, the Switch is passing the tests.

The following steps assume you have AC power applied to the Switch, the Power
Button is in the ON (In) position, and the Continuous Test button is in the OP (In)
position. Figure 1-1 shows the location of the Power Button.

Note the state of the Logic Power Good LED. Figure 1-1 shows the location of
the Power Good LED.

Yes Go to Step 2.

No

Go to the Power Supply/Fans Troubleshooting procedure to determine what
is causing the problem; then correct the problem. Return to Step 2 of this
procedure only when the Power Good LED is lit.

Install a Loopback Plug on each of the installed GBICs. Your Switch was shipped
with a Loopback Plug for each GBIC.

If the Switch was previously cabled, tag and remove all cables and install a
Loopback Plug on each GBIC.

Set the Continuous Test button to the TST (Out) position. Figure 3-2 shows its
location.

Note the state of the Heartbeat LED. Figure 1-1 shows the location of the
Heartbeat LED. As long as the Heartbeat LED is blinking the normal heartbeat
(one blink per second) the Switch is passing the Continuous Tests. Let the tests
run for about a minute, then:

a.

If the Heartbeat LED is blinking its normal heartbeat (not an error code),
press the Continuous Test button to place the Switch back in its normal
operate mode (OP) and go to Step 5.
