Understanding C7420 LED Indicators

The following lists detail the LED indicators on the front and rear of the C7420.

Front Panel

Blue power indicator—Illuminated when the C7420 is powered on.

Link LED—Shows when a connection, or link, is established between the C7420 and a

blade.

Green LED—C/Port and blade are connected.

Red LED—C/Port and blade are not connected (for example, the C7420 LC fiber

optic cable is disconnected).

Rear Panel

ACT/LOS—This LED indicates fiber activity and a loss of signal.

Blinking green—Signal activity

Orange—Loss of fiber signal

SPD—This LED indicates connection speed. When illuminated, a 100–megabit

connection is established.

Configuring the C7420 Fiber C/Port

ClearCube A1410 and R1350 PC blades contain V5120 Dual Host cards connected to the

blade’s PCI Express® connector. V5120 cards and C7420 Fiber C/Ports contain PCoIP

processors that manage video and audio data. When configuring and working with a C7420

user port connected to a blade with a V5120 Dual Host card, remember that:

There are two PCoIP processors:

C7420 Fiber C/Port processor

V5120 Dual Host card processor

Each PCoIP processor has an IP address, for a total of two IP addresses

You must provision PCoIP processors on blades and on user ports when deploying C7420

Fiber C/Ports. To provision a C7420, you must:
1. Determine the IP address structure for your environment and determine the IP addresses of

the blade, the V5120 Dual Host card, and the C7420 Fiber C/Port.

2. Provision the PCoIP processors on the C7420 and on the blade that connects to the user

port.

3. Establish a network connection between the C7420 and a blade using any of the following

options:

Direct cable connection or connection through local Ethernet switch

DHCP connection

ClearCube Sentral®

The following section describes the default network address settings that the C7420 Fiber

C/Port and V5120 Dual Host use.
