If you specified Fibre Channel host interface adapters for your Lenovo Storage V7000 2076-524 system, an adapter is preinstalled in each node canister.
Each 8 Gbps Fibre Channel 4-port host interface adapter (feature code ACHK) can have from two to four short wave (SW) small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers installed. Cap unused ports with safety caps.
Fibre Channel host interface adapter ports
Fibre Channel ports 1 are in 1 - 4 order, starting at the top. Ports and their indicators are shown in Figure 1.
Each port can have up to an 8 Gbps SW SFP transceiver installed. Each transceiver connects to a host or Fibre Channel switch with an LC-to-LC Fibre Channel cable.
- 1 Fibre Channel 8 Gbps ports (x4)
- 2 Link-state LED (x4 - one for each port)
- 3 Speed-state LED (x4 - one for each port)
Fibre Channel host interface adapter indicators
Each Fibre Channel port has two green LED indicators. The link-state LED 2 is above the speed-state LED 3 for each port. Consider the LEDs as a pair to determine the overall link state, which is decoded in Table 1.
| Link-state LED | Speed-state LED | Link state |
|---|---|---|
| OFF | OFF | Inactive |
| ON or FLASHING | OFF | Active low speed (2 Gbps) |
| ON or FLASHING | FLASHING | Active medium speed (4 Gbps) |
| ON or FLASHING | ON | Active high speed (8 Gbps) |
One or two Fibre Channel interface adapters can be installed in each node canister. They can be installed in slots 2 and 3 of the node canister. When a single interface adapter is installed in either slot 2 or slot 3, the Fibre Channel ports on the adapter are numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4.
