When the menu on the front panel is not in use, it is possible to monitor various aspects
of the system. The following information is presented:

Fibre Channel port bandwidth. The front panel displays the Read and Write
performance of each Fibre Channel port. As seen in the picture, the indicator
lights correspond to the actual location of the ports on the RamSan-210. The top
indicators are for the top Fibre Channel interface board. The bottom indicators
are for the bottom Fibre Channel interface board. The left and right indicators
map to the left and right sides of the interface boards when you look at them from
behind. For each channel, the top half of the graph represents read megabytes per
second in 10 megabyte per second increments. The bottom half represents write
bandwidth.
