LED	Color	Status
BCN	Blue	The operator has activated this LED to identify this module in the chassis.
BCN	Off	This module is not being identified.
FAN	Green	The fan tray is operational.
	Red	One or more fans in this fan tray has failed.
	Off	No power is going to the fan tray. Verify that the even numbered fabric slot (FM 2, FM 4, or FM 6) behind the fan tray has one of the following in order to power the fan tray: Functioning fabric module (N9K-C9508-FM, N9K-C9508-FM-E, or N9K-C9508-FM-E2) Fabric blank module with fan tray power connector (N9K-C9508-FM-Z)
FAB	Green	The fabric modules behind this fan tray are operational.
	Amber	At least one fabric module behind this fan tray is not operating or there is not a fabric blank module with power connector (N9K-C9508-FM-Z) to provide power to the fan tray.
	Off	No power is going to the fabric module behind this fan tray.

LED	Color	Status
FAN status	Green	The fan tray is operational.
	Amber	One or more fans in this fan tray has failed.
	Blinking Amber	The fan tray is in test.
	Off	No power is going to the fan tray.
FM status	Green	The fabric modules are operational.
	Amber	One or more of the fabric modules has failed.
	Blinking Amber	No power is going to the fabric module.
Beacon	Blinking Blue	Indicates the location of the fan tray in the chassis.

Fabric Module LEDs

The fabric modules are located behind the fan trays. The following table describes the possible states for each of these LEDs.

LED

Color

Status

BCN/top LED

Blue

The operator has activated this beacon (BCN) LED to identify this module in the chassis.

Note

When the operator activates the BCN/top LED, the BCN LED on the covering fan module also activates (lights).

Off

This module is not being identified.

Status/bottom LED

Green

The fabric module is operational.

Flashing green

First press of the ejector button has been registered

Flashing yellow

The removal of the module is in progress

Flashing red

The fabric module has a fault.

Flashing amber

The fabric module is booting up.

Off

No power is going to the fabric module.

Line Card LEDs

The Beacon (BCN) and Status (STS) LEDs are located on the front, toward the left side of the module. The Link LED for each port is located either between the two rows of ports, or if there is a single row of ports, placed up/down between ports. Each of the Link LEDs is a triangle pointing to the port above or below the LED. The following table describes the possible states for each of these LEDs.


LED	Color	Status
BCN	Flashing blue	The operator has activated this LED to identify this module in the chassis.
BCN	Off	This LED is not being used.
STS	Green	All diagnostics passed. This module is operational (normal initialization sequence).
	Flashing red	Indicates one of the following: The module has detected a slot ID parity error and will not power on or boot up. The module is not fully inserted, and it is not making a reliable connection with the supervisor. The module has failed diagnostic tests and has powered down. An overtemperature condition has occurred. A major temperature threshold has been exceeded during environmental monitoring.
	Flashing amber	Indicates one of the following: The module is booting up or initializing. The module is resetting and both ejector levers are out. The module has been inserted during the initialization process. The module could not power up because of insufficient power.
	Off	The module is not receiving power.
Link (for each port)	Green	The port is active (the link is connected and active).
	Orange	The operator has disabled the port or is not initializing.
	Flashing orange	Beacon is enabled for the port. Or the port is faulty and disabled.
	Off	The port is not active or the link is not connected.

Power Supply LEDs

The power supply LEDs are located on the upper left front portion of the module. The following table describes the possible states for each of these LEDs.


OK LED	FAIL or FAIL/ID LED	Status
Green	Off	Power supply is on and outputting power to the switch.
Flashing green	Off	Power supply is connected to an AC power source but not outputting power to the switch. The power supply may not be properly installed in the chassis.
Off	Off	Either all the installed power supplies are not receiving power or an uninstalled power supply is not receiving power.
Off	Flashing amber	Power supply is operating but a warning condition has occurred—possibly one of the following conditions: High temperature High power Slow power supply fan Low voltage Power supply is installed in the chassis but was disconnected from the power source.
Off	Flashing amber (10 seconds) then amber	Power supply is installed without a connection to a power source.
Off	Amber	Power supply failure—possibly one of the following conditions: Over voltage Over current Over temperature Power supply fan failure
