Hardware view
Using this graphical view of the director, you can view status symbols and simulated light emitting
diode (LED) indicators, display data. You can also use mouse functions to monitor status and obtain
vital product information for the director and its hardware components. To display the Hardware
view, select Hardware from the view tabs on the Element Manager window.
Identifying FRUs
Move the mouse pointer over parts of the director graphic in the Hardware view to display labels
identifying each hardware component and its slot position in the chassis relative to identical
components installed in the director. Components include:
• Port cards.
• The Director 2/64 can contain up to 16 port cards, slot positions 15 through 0 (left to right).
• The Director 2/140 can contain up to 32 port cards in the front of the unit (slot positions
0–1) and up to three additional port cards in the rear (slot positions 33–35). Note that
blank slot position 32 relates to ports 128–131, which are internal ports.
As you move the mouse pointer over each card, labels display, identifying the card's slot
number and port technology. Acronyms that may display to identify port technology, such as
UPM, GSML, GXXL, FPM, UPM, GLSR, GSMR, GLSL, and GXXR, also display in the FRU column
of the FRU List view. See ” FRU List view ” on page 84 for details.
