3 Link/Speed indicator of
an 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel
port
l Steady blue: The data transfer rate between
the storage system and the application server
is 8 Gbit/s.
l Blinking blue: Data is being transferred at the
highest rate.
l Steady green: The data transfer rate between
the storage system and the application server
is 2 Gbit/s or 4 Gbit/s.
l Blinking green: Data is being transferred, but
the transfer rate is not the highest rate.
l Steady red: The port is faulty.
l Off: The link to the port is down.
4.2.2.6 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel Interface Module (Eight Ports)
Function
An 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel interface module (eight ports) provides two ports and can be
converted to eight 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel ports through dedicated fiber cables. If the port
speed is auto-negotiable, the port will auto-negotiate 2 Gbit/s, 4 Gbit/s, or 8 Gbit/s. If the port
speed is manually set but inconsistent with the data transfer speed of the connected
application server, the connection will be interrupted.
Interface
Figure 4-20 shows the appearance of an 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel interface module (eight
ports).
