The device is not powered on, or has been powered on but does not have sufficient power to operate. Power supply 1 is installed and is functioning normally. Power supply 1 is located in the right-hand bay (when you are facing the rear of the device). Power supply 1 is not installed or is not providing power. Power supply 2 is installed and is functioning normally. Power supply 2 is located in the lefthand bay (when you are facing the rear of the device). Power supply 2 is not providing power. The software regularly polls the hardware for power status information. You can display the status information from any management session using the show chassis CLI command. In addition, the software automatically generates a Syslog message and SNMP trap if a status change occurs. Attaching a PC or terminal To assign an IP address, you must have access to the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is a text-based interface that can be accessed through a direct serial connection to the device or through Telnet connections. You will need to assign an IP address using the CLI. You can access the CLI by attaching management station through a serial cable to the Console port. After you assign an IP address, you can access the system through Telnet or Brocade Network Advisor. Follow the steps to attach a management station using the serial port. 1. Use a straight-through cable to connect a PC or terminal to the male DB-9 serial port connector.

Table 4
lists the device LEDs that show power status.
The software regularly polls the hardware for power status information. You can display the status
information from any management session using the

CLI command. In addition, the
software automatically generates a Syslog message and SNMP trap if a status change occurs.
Attaching a PC or terminal
To assign an IP address, you must have access to the
Command Line Interface (CLI)
. The CLI is a
text-based interface that can be accessed through a direct serial connection to the device or
through Telnet connections.
You will need to assign an IP address using the CLI. You can access the CLI by attaching
management station through a serial cable to the Console port. After you assign an IP address, you
can access the system through Telnet or Brocade Network Advisor.
Follow the steps to attach a management station using the serial port.
1.
Use a straight-through cable to connect a PC or terminal to the male DB-9 serial port
connector.
NOTE
You need to run a terminal emulation program on the PC.
2.
Open the terminal emulation program and set the session parameters as follows:
•
Baud: 9600 bps
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1
