Status
Locator ID
The crossbar fabric switching modules are located behind the fan modules in the chassis, the LEDs on the
crossbar fabric switching module are not easily visible from the back of the chassis. So, the crossbar fabric
switching module status LEDs are provided on the fan modules as well. Each fan module covers two crossbar
fabric switching modules, the status LEDs for two crossbar fabric modules are present on each fan module.
If the fan module is removed, the status and locator LEDs on the crossbar fabric switching modules will be
visible.
When a crossbar fabric switching module needs to be located, the locator LED of the corresponding fan
module must be activated, followed by the locator LED of fabric module, using the CLIs locator-led fan <
fan module number > and locator-led xbar < xbar slot number >. For example, to locate the crossbar fabric
switching module in slot 4, the locator LED of the fan module 2 needs to be activated followed by the locator
LED of the crossbar fabric switching module 4.

Status
Description
Green
All diagnostics pass. The module is operational (normal initialization
sequence).
Orange
One of the following occurs:
• The module is booting or running diagnostics (normal initialization
sequence).
• An over temperature condition occurred (a minor threshold was
exceeded during environmental monitoring).
Red, Blinking
One of the following occurs:
• The diagnostic test failed. The module is not operational because
a fault occurred during the initialization sequence.
• An over temperature condition occurred (a major threshold was
exceeded during environmental monitoring).
• Crossbar fabric switching module has been manually powered off.
Red
Bad slot ID parity.
Off
The module is not receiving power.
Blue Blinking
Operator has flagged this card for identification.
Off
Operator has not flagged this card for identification.
