Interpreting POST results

POST is a system check that is performed each time the Brocade 7800 is powered on, rebooted, or
reset, and during which the LEDs flash different colors.

Perform the following steps to determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any errors
were detected.

1. Verify that the LEDs on the switch indicate that all components are healthy (LED patterns are

described in

LEDs on the port side of the Extension Switch

on page 33 and

LEDs on the nonport side

of the Brocade 7800

on page 37). If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state:

a)

Verify that the LEDs are not set to "beacon" (this can be determined through the
switchShow command or Web Tools). For information about how to turn beaconing on and
off, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide or the Web Tools Administrator's Guide.

b)

Follow the recommended action for the observed LED behavior, as listed in

LEDs on the

port side of the Extension Switch

on page 33 or

LEDs on the nonport side of the Brocade

7800

on page 37.

2. Verify that diagShow command displays that the diagnostic status for all ports in the switch is OK.
3. Review the system log for errors. Errors detected during POST are written to the system log, which is

viewed using the errShow command. For more information about this command, see the Fabric OS
Command Reference
. For information about specific error messages, see the Fabric OS Message
Reference
.
