ESM has two SFP module ports for connecting the expansion unit to the
controller.
v Fault LED: The amber ESM fault LED is lit when an ESM failure occurs.
v Input/output bypass LEDs: These amber LEDs are lit when a faulty SFP
module or fiber-optic cable is installed. Both ports on the ESM are bypassed and
the LEDs are lit in the event of an ESM fault. In this case, the ESM fault error
LED is also lit. This LED is also lit if an SFP module is installed and not
connected to another device.
v Power LED: The green power LED is lit when there is power to the ESM.
v Over-temperature LED: The ESM amber LED is lit if the expansion unit
overheats.
v Enclosure ID switches: Two enclosure ID switches are located between the
power supplies at the rear of the FAStT EXP700. These switches are used to
identify the FAStT EXP700 on a Fibre Channel loop and to assign physical
addresses to the drives. You can use the push buttons to set the values between
0 and 7. The X1 value assigns the physical addresses of the drives and the
ESM. The X10 value identifies the loop where the FAStT EXP700 is located.
v 1 Gb/s 2 Gb/s switch: Use the 1 Gb/s 2 Gb/s switch located on the back of the
FAStT EXP700 to enable drive operation. The default setting is 2 Gb per second.
Your switch setting will depend on your system configuration.
Note: To determine which speed the expansion unit must be set to, see Table 1.
