The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC and AT-SBxPWRSYS2 AC System
Power Supplies are compatible and can be used in the same
chassis.
The AT-SBxPWRSYS2 AC System Power Supply was added to
the management software in R17.2.1. It will work with earlier
releases, but Allied Telesis recommends up datin g the so ftware on
controller cards that have earlier versions to the latest release to
ensure full compatibility.
Note
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC System Power Supply is not compatible
with the other system and PoE power supplies and should not be
operated in the same chassis with other power supplies. You may,
however, operate the chassis for a short period of time with AC and
DC power supplies if you are converting it from one type of power
supply to another, such as from AC to DC.
Slots A and B are for the AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC PoE Power Supply. This
module provides the PoE power for the twisted pair ports on the AT-
SBx31GP24 PoE Line Card. Please note the following items concerning
the PoE power supply:
PoE power supplies are installed in slots A and B of the chassis.
You may install either one or two PoE power supplies in the
chassis.
If you are installing only one power supply, you may install it in
either slot A or B.
A single PoE power supply provides up to 1,200 watts of power for
PoE. Two PoE power supplies provide up to 2,400 watts of power.
The PoE power supply is hot swappable. You do not have to power
off the chassis to replace it.
The total number of powered devices the chassis can support on
the ports on AT-SBx31GP24 PoE Line Cards depends on the
number of AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supplies in the chassis and
the power requirements of the devic es. For instance, a chassis can
support 40 port s of Class 4, PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) powere d devices
with one power supply or 80 ports with two power supplies. For
further information, refer to “Power Budgeting” on page 58.
Note
Power supplies are not included with the chassis and must be
purchased separately.

Note
The AT-SBx31GC40 Line Card does not support 10 or 100 Mbps
transceivers.
The AT-SBx31GC40 Line Card has twenty slots for standard SFP or
CSFP transceivers, and supports twenty or forty networking ports,
depending on the types of transceivers. The line card has twenty ports
when the slots have standard SFP transceivers, because each SFP
transceiver functions as one port. In contrast, the line card has forty ports
when the twenty slots have CSFP transceivers, because the two fiber
connectors on a CSFP transceiver function as independent, bidirectional
networking ports that can be connected to different network devices.
You do not have to install the same type of transceiver in to all twenty slots
in the line card. You may install a combination of SFP and CSFP
transceivers.
Contact your Allied Telesis sales representative for a list of supported
transceivers.
Port Numbers The AT-SBx31GC40 Line Card has two port numbers for each transceiver
slot. The numbers are displayed on the front panel alongside and above
the slots in the top row and alongside and below the slots in the bottom
row. For instance, the first transceiver slot in the top row has the port
numbers 0 and 2 and the slot beneath it has the port numbers 1 and 3.
(The port numbers 2 and 4 are omitted from the first two slots in the top
row on the faceplate to allow for the model name.)
A transceiver uses either one or both port numbers of a slot, depending on
whether its a SFP or an CSFP transceiver. A CSFP transceiver is
assigned two port numbers because its two connectors function as
independent network conn ections. You may use the two port nu mbers of a
transceiver to configure the ports independently. The left-hand fiber
connector is assigned the lower number of a slot and the right-hand
connector is given the higher port number. For example, the left-h and fiber
connector of an CSFP transceiver in the first top slot is assigned the port
number 0 and the right-hand connector is given the port number 2.
Figure 21 on page 45 illustrates the port numbers for the first two slots
when they contain CSFP transceivers.
SwitchBlade x3112 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx31CFC Card Installation Guide
45
Figure 21. Port Numbers for Slots with CSFP Transceivers
In contrast, the two connectors on an SFP transceiver funct ion as a single
port, not as individual ports. Consequently, the switch assigns that type of
module one port number instead of two.
The port number of an SFP module depends on whether the module is
installed in a slot in the top or bottom row of the line card. An SFP module
in a slot in the top row is assigned the lower of the two port numbers of a
slot. For example, the port number of an SFP module installed in the first
slot in the top row is port number 0 because it is the lower of the two port
numbers of the slot. To configure the tran sce ive r, you have to specify port
0 in the management software. The switch marks the unused por t number
of the slot, in this case port number 2, as masked or eclipsed to prevent
you from using it to manage the transceiver.
In contrast, an SFP module in a slot in the bottom row is assigned the
higher number of the slot’s two n umbers. For instance, an SFP transceiver
installed in the first slot in the bottom row is assigned the port nu mber 3 by
the switch. Port 1, the unused port number of the slot, is marked as
masked by the switch and cannot be used to configure the device.
Figure 22 on page 46 illustrates the port numbers for the first four slots
when they contain standard SFP transceivers.

LEDs The AT-SBx31GC40 Line Card has two LEDs for each slot. The LEDS,
which display link and activity information, are located between the slots,
in sets of four. The first and third LEDs of each set are for the bottom slot
and the second and fourth LEDs are for the top slot, as shown in
Figure 23.
Figure 23. LEDs for the AT-SBx31GC40 Line Card
When a slot contains a CSFP transceiver, both slot LEDS are active. Each
LED displays link and activity status information for its respective BiDi
connector on a module. As an example, if the first top and bottom slots of
the line card contain CSFP transceivers, the first LED between the slots
displays link and activity status for port 1, which is the left-hand fiber
connector on the bottom transceiver. The second LED displays the same
information for port 0, the left-hand fiber connector on the top transceiver.

When a slot has a standard SFP, only one LED of a pair is active. The
other LED is not used. The active LED is different depending on whether
the slot containing the transceiver is in the top or bottom row. When an
SFP transceiver is installed in a slot in the top row, the first LED is active
and the second inactive. When an SFP transceiver is installed in a slot in
the bottom row, the first LED is inactive and the second active. See

10/100/1000Base-T Twisted Pair Ports
This section applies to the 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the AT-
SBx31GT24, AT-SBx31GT40, and AT-SBx31GP24 PoE Ethernet Line
Cards.
Connector Type The ports on the AT-SBx31GT24 and AT-SBx31GP24 Line Cards have 8-
pin RJ-45 connectors. The ports on th e AT-SBx3 1GT4 0 Line Card have 8-
pin RJ point 5 connectors. The ports use four pins at 10 or 100 Mbps and
all eight pins at 1000 Mbps. The pin assignments are listed in “Port
Pinouts” on page 270.
Speed The ports can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speeds can be set
automatically through Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, or manually
with the management software.
Note
Twisted-pair ports have to be set to Auto -negotiation to operate at
1000 Mbps. You cannot manually set twisted-pair ports to 1000
Mbps.
Duplex Mode The twisted-pair ports on the AT-SBx31GT24 and AT-SBx31GP24 Line
Cards can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode at 10 or 100 Mbps.
Ports operating at 1000 Mbps can only operate in full-duplex mode. The
twisted-pair ports are IEEE 802.3u-compliant and Auto-Negotiate the
duplex mode setting.
You can disable Auto-Negotiation on the ports and set the duplex mode
manually.
Note
Switch ports that are connected to 10 or 100 Mbps end nodes that
are not using Auto-Negotiation should not use Auto-Negotiation to
set their speed and duplex mode settings, because duplex mode
mismatches might occur. You should disable Auto-Negotiation and
set the speed and duplex mode settings manually with the
management software.
Note
The ports on the AT-SBx31GT40 Line Card only support full-duplex
mode.

Power over Ethernet on the AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card
This section applies only to the AT-SBx31GP24 PoE Line Card. The
twisted-pair ports on the line card support Power ove r Ethernet (PoE). PoE
is a mechanism by which the ports supply power to network devices over
the twisted pair cables that carry the network traffic. This feature can
simplify network installation and maintenance because it a llows you to use
the switch as a central power source for other network devices.
Devices that receive their power over Ethernet cables are called powered
devices (PD), examples of which include wireless access points, IP
telephones, web cams, and even other Ethernet switches. A PD
connected to a port on the switch receives both network traffic and power
over the same twisted-pair cable.
The AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card automatically determines whether a device
connected to a port is a PD. A PD has a signature resistor or signature
capacitor that the line card can detect over the Ethernet cabling. If the
resistor or capacitor is present, the switch assumes that the device is a
PD.
A port connected to a network node that is not a PD (that is, a device that
receives its power from another power source) functions as a regular
Ethernet port, without PoE. The PoE feature remains enabled on the port
but no power is delivered to the device.
Powered Device
Classes The IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards define five powered device
classes. The classes are defined by the power requirements of the
powered devices. The classes are shown in Table 15. The AT-
SBx31GP24 Line Card supports all five classes.

Power Budgeting The power source for the PoE feature on the ports of the AT-SBx31GP24
Line Cards is the AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC PoE Power Supply. The chassis
can have two PoE power supplies. The AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC PoE Power
Supply has a power budget of 1200 watts for powered devices.
Consequently, the chassis has a power budget of 1200 watts with one
power supply and 2400 watts with two power supplies.
The number of powered devices the chassis can support at one time
depends on the number of AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC PoE Power Supplies in
the chassis and the power requirements of the powered devices in your
network. Table 16 lists the maximum number of powered devices by class,
for one or two power supplies. The numbers assume that the powered
devices require the maximum amount of power for their classes.
Note
The maximum number of PoE ports in the SwitchBlade x3112
Switch is 240 ports.
PoE Wiring The IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards define two methods for
delivering power to powered devices over the four pairs of strands that
comprise a standard Ethernet twisted-pair cable. The methods are called
Alternatives A and B. In Alternative A, power is supplied to powered
devices on strands 1, 2, 3, and 6, which are the same strands that carry
the 10/100Base-TX network traffic. In Alternative B, power is delivered on
strands 4, 5, 7, and 8. These are the unused strands.
Note
1000BASE-T cables carry the network traffic on all eight strands of
the Ethernet cable.

The PoE implementation on the AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card is Alternative
A, in which power is transmitted over strands 1, 2, 3, and 6.
PDs that comply with the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards typically
support both power delivery methods. Howe ver, some legacy PDs support
only one power delivery method. Legacy devices that only support
Alternative B will not work with the AT-SBx31GP24 PoE Line Card. Legacy
devices are nodes manufactured before the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at
standards were completed and, consequently, may not adhere to the
standards.

Guidelines
Some of the functions of the controller card are listed here:
Chassis management — The controller card is used to manage
the Ethernet line cards. You may manage the chassis locally
through the Console RS-232 port on the controller card or remotely
with Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), and SNMP clients from
workstations on your network.
Management software — The controller card stores the operating
management software for itself as well as for the Ethernet line
cards, and downloads the firmware to the cards over the
backplane in the chassis when t he chassis is powe red on or reset,
as part of the initialization process.
Configuration settings — The controller card also maintains a
configuration database in which it stores its own sett ings as well as
the settings of the Ethernet line cards. When a change is made to
a configuration setting on a line card, the controller card transmits
the change over the backplane to the appropriate line card and
updates its configuration datab ase. The data base is re tained even
when the chassis is powered off because controller card stores it in
nonvolatile memory. You may download the database to a
management workstation or network server to maintain a histo ry of
configurations or to transfer a configuration to multiple chassis.
Backplane management — The controller card manages the
backplane in the chassis, which the line cards use to forward traffic
to each other when the ingress and egress ports of packets are
located on different cards.
A single control card provides 200 Gbps of backplane bandwidth.
You may install a second control card for a total of 400 Gbps of
backplane bandwidth.
Here are the guidelines for the controller card:
The chassis must have at least one controller card. The line cards
do not forward traffic without at least one controller card in the
chassis.
The chassis may have either one or two controller cards.
Two controller cards are recommended for redundancy and to
increase the backplane bandwidth from 200 to 40 0Gbps.
The controller cards are installed in slots 4 and 5 in the chassis.
Here are other features of the controller card:
LEDs for monitoring the status of the Ethernet line cards.
SwitchBlade x3112 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx31CFC Card Installation Guide
67
Power-saving eco-friendly button for turning the port and status
LEDs on and off on the line cards and controller cards.
Reset switch for resetting the chassis.
SD card slot for data storage and retrieval.
Console RS-232 for local management.
NET MGMT port and inband interface for remote Telnet, SSH, or
SNMP management.
Hot swappable.
Chapter 3: Overview of the AT-SBx31CFC Controller Fabric Card
68
Dual Controller Cards
You may install either one or two controller cards in the chassis. Here are
the advantages to having two controller cards in the chassis.
Having a second controller card improves the performance of the
chassis by increasing the total backplane bandwidth for the
Ethernet line cards from 200 to 400 Gbps.
Installing a second controller card adds redundancy. If a controller
card fails in the chassis, the second ca rd enables the Et hernet lin e
cards to maintain network operations.
Here are the guidelines for dual controller cards:
One card operates as the active master card and the other as the
inactive master card. You can determine the state of a controller
card by the M/S LED. For information, refer to “SYS Status LEDs”
on page 69.
The controller cards automatically determine their states when the
chassis is powered on or reset. The card that boots up first is
designated as the active master card. If both cards boot up at the
same time, the card in slot 4 is designated as the active master
card.
All management sessions have to be conducted through the active
controller card.
To establish a local management session, you have to use the
Console RS-232 port on the active controller card.
When the chassis is powered on or reset, the two controller cards
perform an initialization process, part of which involves the inactive
card synchronizing its management files with the active card.
During this phase of the initialization process, which may take
several minutes. the inactive card does not participate with the
active card in forwarding traffic over the backplane. After the
inactive card has finished the initialization process, it joins with the
active card in forwarding traffic on the backplane from the line
cards. For more information, refer to “Monitoring the Initialization
Process” on page 200.

eco-friendly Button
The eco-friendly button on the controller card is used to turn the LEDs on
or off and test the LEDs. You may turn off the LEDs to conserve electricity
when you are not using them to monitor the controller and Ethernet line
cards. When the LEDs are off, the overall power consumption of the
chassis is slightly reduced, approximately 2 watts in a system with 120
active copper ports.
The button controls the LEDs on the ports on the Ethernet line cards and
the LEDs on the controller card, except for the M/S (Master/Slave) LED,
which is always on. The button does not control the LEDs on the fan
module and the power supply systems.
The eco-friendly button is also used to test the LEDs. The LEDs perf orm a
lamp test, flashing in alternatin g colors for three seconds, when you pre ss
the button.

SBx Linecard Status LEDs
The SBx Linecard Status LEDs display general status information about
the controller and Ethernet line cards in the slots o f the chassis. There are
twelve LEDs, number 0 to 11. LED 0 displays the status of the card in slot
0, LED 1 displays the status of the card in slot 1, and so on. If the chassis
has two controller cards, the SBx Li necard Status LEDs are active on both
cards. The states of the LEDs are defined in Table 20.
Table 20. SBx Linecard Status LEDs

mode, or loading the configuration settings.
Solid Amber Indicates that the card is in an off-line,
reset, or disabled state. You may remove
the card from the chassis when it is in this
state. If the LED is solid amber for an
Ethernet line card, it may indicate that the
card cannot boot up because the controller
card does not have the appropriate load file
and needs to be updated to the most recent
release of management software.
Flashing Amber Indicates that the card is reporting a fault
condition. Use the management comma nds
to determine the specific problem.
Chapter 3: Overview of the AT-SBx31CFC Controller Fabric Card
72
Console (RS-232) Port
The Console Port on the front panel of the controller card is used to
conduct local management sessions with the switch. Local management
sessions are established with a terminal or PC with a terminal emulation
program, and the management cable that comes with the card. The
chassis does not need an IP address for local management.
Your initial management session with the switch must be a local
management session. For instructions on how to start a local
management session, refer to “Using Local Management to Verify the
Chassis” on page 208 or the Software Reference for SwitchBlade x3100
Series Switches.
SwitchBlade x3112 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx31CFC Card Installation Guide
73
NET MGMT Port
You have to provide the controller card with access to your network if it is
to perform any of the management features in Table 21. There are two
ways you can do this. One way is by connecting the NET MGMT port on
the front panel of the controller card to a switch or router on your network.
Another way is by configuring the in-band interface. The inband interface
allows the card to communicate with your network over the backplane and
line cards in the chassis.
You may use either the NET MGMT port or in-band interface to provide the
controller card with access to your network, but you may not configure
both. The default is the NET MGMT port. For instructions on how to
configure the NET MGMT port and inband interface, refer to the Software
Reference for SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches.
Table 21. Management Features Requiring Network Access
Feature Description
Ping Used to test for network
connectivity to the chassis.

Chapter 3: Overview of the AT-SBx31CFC Controller Fabric Card
74
The NET MGMT port has a standard RJ-45 8-pin connector and operates
at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps in either half- or full-duplex mode. The cable
requirements for this port are the same as the ports on the AT-
SBx31GT24 Line Card, given in Table 13 on page 54. For the port
pinouts, refer to “Port Pinouts” on page 270.
The port uses Auto-Negotiation to set its speed. You may not disable
Auto-Negotiation. To avoid a speed or duplex mode mismatch, you sh ould
connect the port only to a device that also uses Auto-Negotiation. If
connected to a network device that does not support Auto-Negotiation, it
defaults to 10 Mbps, half-duplex mode.
The wiring configuration of the NET MGMT port is set automatically with
automatic MDIX detection. You may not disable automatic MDIX
detection. For automatic MDIX detection to work successfully, the port
must be connected to a network device that also supports the feature. If
the NET MGMT port is connected to a network device that does not
support automatic MDIX detection, it defaults to MDIX. This may require
the use of a crossover cable. Here are guidelines to choosing straight-
through or crossover cabling for the port:
You may use a straight-through cable to connect the port to a
network device that operates at 1000 Mbps.
You may use a straight-through or crossover cable to connect the
port to a network device that supports automatic MDIX detection
and that operates at 10 or 100 Mbps.
Syslog client Used to send the event me ssages
from the controller card to syslog
servers on your network for
storage.
TACACS+ client Used with a TACACS+ server on
your network for remote
management authentication.
Telnet server Used to remotely manage the
chassis with a Telnet client.
TFTP client Used with a TFTP server on your
network to download files to or
upload files from the controller
card.
TRACEROUTE Used to determine the
intermediate nodes (or hops) of
network paths.

Reset Button
You may use the Reset button to reset either the controller card or all of
the cards in the chassis. The action depends on the number of AT-
SBx31CFC Controller Fabric Cards in the chassis and, if the chassis has
two controller cards, whether you press the button on the active or inactive
master card.
The possible actions are described here:
If the chassis has only one controller card, pressing the Reset
button resets the controller card and all the Ethernet line cards in
the chassis. You may perform this function if the chassis and line
cards are experiencing a problem.
Caution
The controller and Ethernet line cards do not forward network traffic
for a minimum of two minutes while th ey initialize th eir ma nagement
software and configure their parameter settings. Some network
traffic may be lost.
If the chassis has two controller cards, pressing the Reset button
on the active master card resets the controller card, but not the
Ethernet line cards. The inactive master controller card
immediately becomes the new active master card and the Ethernet
line cards continue to forward traffic. The reset controller card is
unavailable for about two minutes while it initializes its
management software, after which it becomes the inactive master
card in the chassis.
Note
The available backplane bandwidth fo r each line card slot is reduced
from 40 to 20 Gbps for about two minutes while the reset controller
card initializes its management software. This may reduce network
performance.
If you want the active and inactive master controller cards to
exchange roles without having to reset the active card, use the
SW AP ACTIVITY comma nd in the management so f tware. Refer to
the Software Reference for SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches for
information.
If the chassis has two controller cards, pressing the Reset button
on the inactive master controller card resets that card, but not the
active master controller card or the Ethernet line cards.

Selecting a Site for the SwitchBlade x3112
Please perform the following procedure to determine the suitability of the
site for the chassis:
1. Check that the equipment rack is safely secured so that it will not tip
over. You should in stall devices starting at the b ottom of the rack, with
the heavier devices near the bottom.
2. Verify that the power outlets for the chassis are located near the unit
and are easily accessible.
3. Verify that the power sources are on different A/C circuits to protect
the unit from a power circuit failure.
4. Verify that the site has dedicated power circuits or power conditioners
to supply reliable electrical power to the network devices.
5. Verify that the site allows for easy access to the ports on the front of
the chassis so that you can easily connect and disconnect the network
cables, as well as view the unit’s LEDs.
6. Verify that the site allows for adequate air flow around the unit and
through the cooling vents. The ventilation direction for the main section
of the chassis is from left to right (when facing the f ront of the chassis),
with the fan module drawing air out of the chassis. The power supplies
have fans that draw air from the front to the back.
7. Verify that the site has a reliable and earth (grounded) power supply
source, preferably dedicated and filtered.
8. Verify that the twisted pair cabling is not exposed to sources of
electrical noise, such as radio transmitters, broadband amplifiers,
power lines, electric motors, and fluorescent fixtures.
9. Verify that the site protects the chassis from moisture , water, and dust.
Here are other guidelines to consider:
Switch ports are suitable for intra-building connections, or where
non-exposed cabling is required.
Do not place objects on top of the chassis.
The power cords provided with the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 and AT-
SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supplies for 100-125 VAC installations
have 20 Amp, 125 V NEMA 5-20P plugs. The plug is only

Guidelines to Cabling the Twisted Pair Ports on AT-SBx31GP24, AT-
SBx31GT24, and AT-SBx31GT40 Line Cards
Here are guidelines to cabling the 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair ports
on AT-SBx31GT24, AT-SBx31GP24, and AT-SBx31GT40 Line Cards:
The 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair ports on AT-SBx31GT24 and
AT-SBx31GP24 Line Cards have 8-pin RJ45 connectors.
The 100/1000Base-T twisted pair ports on the AT-SBx31GT40
Line Card have 8-pin RJ point 5 connectors.
The cable specifications for the 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair
ports on AT-SBx31GT24 and AT-SBx31GT40 Line Cards are
listed in Table 13 on page 54.
The cable specifications for the 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair
ports on the AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card are listed in Table 14 on
page 55.
The connectors on the cables should fit snugly into the ports, and
the tabs should lock the connectors into place.
The default setting for PoE on the ports on the AT-SBx31GP24
Line Card is enabled.
The default speed setting for the ports is Auto-Negotiation. This
setting is appropriate for ports connected to network devices that
also support Auto-Negotiation.
The default speed setting of Auto-Negotiation is not appropria te for
ports connected to network devices that do not support Auto-
Negotiation and have fixed speeds or 10 or 100 Mbps. For those
switch ports, disable Auto-Negotiation and set the port’s speed
manually to match the speeds of the network devices.
The 10/100/1000Base-T ports must be set to Auto-Nego tiation, the
default setting, to operate at 1000Mbps.
The default duplex mode setting for the ports is Auto-Negotiation.
This setting is appropriate for ports connected to network devices
that also support Auto-Negotiation for duplex modes.
The default duplex mode setting of Auto-Negotiation is not
appropriate for ports connected to network devices that do not
support Auto-Negotiation and have a fixed duplex mode. Disable
Auto-Negotiation on those ports and set their duplex modes
manually to avoid the possibility of duplex mode mismatches. A
switch port using Auto-Negotiation defaults to half-duplex if it
detects that the end node is not using Auto-Negotiation. This can
result in a mismatch if the end node is operating at a fixed duplex
mode of full-duplex.
The MDI/MDIX wiring configuration of the ports is set automatically with
SwitchBlade x3112 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx31CFC Card Installation Guide
145
automatic MDIX detection. You may not disable this feature on the ports.
For automatic MDIX detection to work successfully, the remote device
connected to a port must also support the fe ature. If it does not, a port on a
line card defaults to MDIX. This may require the use of a crossover cable.
Here are the guidelines to choosing straight-through or crossover cabling
for the ports:
You may use straight-through cables on ports that are connected
to network devices that operate at 1000 Mbps.
You may use straight-through or crossover cables on po rts that are
connected to network devices that support automatic MDIX
detection and that operate at 10 or 100 Mbps.
You must use straight-through cables on ports that are connected
to network devices that have a fixed wiring configuration of MDI
and that operate at 10 or 100 Mbps.
You must use crossover cables on ports that are connected to
network devices that have a f ixed wiring configuration of MDIX and
that operate at 10 or 100 Mbps.
Connecting
Cables to the AT-
SBx31GT40 Line
Card
Here are a few additional guidelines to connecting cables to ports on the
AT-SBx31GT40 Line Card:
The ports require the RJ point 5 cable connector shown in
Figure 80.
Figure 80. RJ Point 5 Cable Connector for AT-SBx31GT40 Line Card
To connect a cable to a port in the top role on the line card, orient
the connector with the release tab on top. To connect a cable to a
port in the bottom role, orient the connector with the release tab on
the bottom. Refer to Figure 81 on page 146.
To remove a cable from a port, pull gently on the release tab and
slide the cable connector from the port.
Note

SBx31XZ4 Line Cards:
You should install a tran sceiver in a line card before connecting its
network cable.
A fiber optic transceiver is dust sensitive. Always keep the
protective cover in the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not
installed, or when you store the transceiver. When you do remove
this cover, retain it for future use.
Your Allied Telesis sales representative can provide you with a list
of supported transceivers for the line cards.
The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements of
the transceivers are provided in the documents included with the
devices.
The SFP, SFP+, CSFP, and XFP transceivers and AT-SP10TW
cables are hot-swappable. You may install them while the chassis
is powered on.
Unnecessary removal or insertion of transceivers can lead to
premature failures.
Warning
Transceivers can be damaged by static electricity. Follow the
procedure in “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)” on

Cabling the NET MGMT Port on the AT-SBx31CFC Card
The controller card must have access to your network to support the
management features in Table 21 on page 73. You can give the controller
card access to your network either by configuring the Inband Interface,
which allows the card to use the backplane and line cards to communicate
with your networ k, or connecting the NET MGMT port to a network device,
such as a switch, router, or workstation. (For instructions on how to
configure the Inband Interface, refer to the Software Re ference for
SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches.)
Here are the guidelines to using the NET MGMT port:
The cabling requirements of the port are the same as the ports on
the AT-SBx31GT24 Line Card, in Table 13 on page 54.
If the chassis has two AT-SBx31CFC Controller Cards, connect the
NET MGMT ports on both cards to network devices so that the
inactive card can perform the management functions if it becomes
the active card.
The port uses Auto-Negotiation to set its speed and duplex. You
may not disable Auto-Negotiation. If you connect the port to a
network device that does not support Auto-Negotiation, it defaults
to 10 Mbps, half-duplex mode. To avoid a speed or duplex mode
mismatch, connect the port only to a device that also uses Auto-
Negotiation.
You may connect the NET MGMT port to a port on one of the
Ethernet line cards in the chassis so that the controller card
communicates with your network through the line cards. However,
you can achieve the same result by configuring the Inband
Interface instead, as explained in the Software Reference for
SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches.
The wiring configuration of the port is set automatically with automatic
MDIX detection. You may not disable automatic MDIX detection. For
automatic MDIX detection to work successfully, the network device you
connect to the port must also support the feature. If it does not, the NET
MGMT port defaults to MDIX. This may entail the use of a crossover cable.
Here are the guidelines to choosing a straight-through or crossover cable
for the port:
You may use a straight-through cable to connect the port to a
network device that operates at 1000 Mbps.
You may use a straight-through or crossover cable to connect the
port to a network device that supports automatic MDIX detection
and that operates at 10 or 100 Mbps.
You must use a must straight-through cable to connect the port to
a network device that operates at 10 or 100 Mbps and has a fixed

wiring configuration of MDI.
You must use a crossover cable to connect the port to a network
device that operates at 10 or 100 Mbps and has a fixed wiring
configuration of MDIX.
After cabling the ports in the chassis, go to Chapter 9, “Powering On the
Chassis” on page 167.

repeat this procedure to power on the second power supply.
Otherwise, go to “Monitoring the Initialization Process” on
page 200.
Chapter 9: Powering On the Chassis
200
Monitoring the Initialization Process
The control and line cards perform an initialization process when you
power on or reset the chassis. The process may have up to th ree phases.
The number of phases and their durations depend on the number of
control cards in the chassis. There are three possible configurations:
Configuration 1: Chassis with one control card.
The initialization process for a chassis that has only one control
card has two phases. The entire process takes approximately two
minutes. In the first phase the control card initializes its
management sof tware. In the second pha se the line cards initialize
their management softwa re and receive their configuration settings
from the control card. The control and line cards begin forwarding
network traffic at the completion of the initialization process.
Configuration 2: Chassis with two control cards that have identical
configuration databases and load files.
The initialization process for a chassis with two control cards has
three phases. The first two phases are the same as in configuration
1. At their completion, the Ethernet line cards begin to forward
traffic from their ports and the active control card starts to forward
traffic across the backplane. At this point, the available bandwidth
across the backplane is 200Mbps.
In the third phase the inactive control card synchronizes its
database and load files with the active card. If the databases and
files are already the same, the third phase requires about thirty
seconds, after which the inactive control card joins with the active
card in forwarding packet s across the backp lane, to provide the full
400Mbps of backplane bandwidth.
Configuration 3: Chassis with two control cards that have different
configuration databases and load files.
The initialization process for a chassis with two control cards has
three phases. At the completion of the first two phases, which are
the same as in configuration 1, the Ethernet line cards begin to
forward traffic from their ports and the active control card starts to
forward traffic across the backplane. At this point, the available
bandwidth across the backplane is 200Mbps.
During the third phase, the inactive control card synchronizes its
configuration database and load files with the active control card.
The length of the third phase depends on the differences in the
files, and may take several minutes to complete. During the
synchronization, the inactive control card does not forward traffic
across the backplane. Only after it has fully synchronized its files
SwitchBlade x3112 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx31CFC Card Installation Guide
201
with the active card does the inactive card begin to forward p ackets
across the backplane.
The phases of the initialization processe s and the ir approxima te times are
shown in Table 25.
Using the LEDs
to Monitor the
Initialization
Process
There are two ways to monitor the phases of the initialization process. One
way is to use the LEDs on the control card. F or phase 1, examine th e M/S
LED in the System Status LEDs on t he control card. It flashes amber while
the card initializes its management software and changes to solid green at
the completion of the phase. If the chassis has two control cards, the M/S
LED continues to flash amber on the inactive card until the card has
synchronized its database with the active control card.
To monitor phase 2, watch the SBx Status LEDs. There are twelve LEDs
(numbered 0 to 11), one for each slot. The LED for a slot flashes green
while the card initializes its management software and configures its
settings in accordance with the settings from the active control card. The
LED changes to solid green when the corresponding line card completes
the initialization process and begins forwarding traffic.
If there are two control cards, you can monitor phase 3 by viewing the M/S
LEDs on the control cards. The LED on the active control card turns solid
green when the card is finished initializing its management software. The
same LED on the inactive LED continues to flash amber until it has

2 The line cards reset, initialize their
management software, and receive their

phase, the Ethernet line cards begin to
forward traffic from their ports and the active
control card forwards packe ts across the
backplane. If the chassis has two control
cards, the inactive card does not begin to
forward traffic across the backplane until the
completion of phase 3.

synchronized its database with the active control card, at which point it
turns solid amber to indicate the inactive state of the card. However, the
inactive card is forwarding traffic over the backplane.
Using the Console
Port to Monitor
the Initialization
Process
Another way to monitor the initialization process of the chassis is to
connect a terminal or PC with a terminal emulator progra m to the Console
port on the control card and watch the status messages. (The settings for
the terminal or terminal emulator program are found in “Starting a Local
Management Session” on page 208.) Figure 139 here and Figure 140 on
page 203 illustrate the messages. The chassis has completed phase 1
when it displays the “Username” prompt. To monitor phases 2 and 3, log
in to the switch and use the SHOW CARD command. For instructions,
refer to the Software Reference for SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches.

Verifying the Hardware Operations of
the Chassis
This chapter describes how to verify the operations of the chassis. The
chapter contains the following sections:
“Using the LEDs to Verify the Chassis” on page 206
“Using Local Management to Verify the Chassis” on page 208
Note
Allied Telesis recommends using both the LEDs and local
management to confirm the initial operations of the chassis,
controller cards, and Ethernet line cards.
Chapter 10: Verifying the Hardware Operations of the Chassis
206
Using the LEDs to Verify the Chassis
After powering on the chassis for the first time and waiting a minimum of
two minutes for the line and controller cards to complete the initialization
process, check the operational status of the various hardware
components by examining the LEDs, as explained in this procedure:
1. Check the LEDs on the power supplies:
AT-SBxPWRSYS1, AT-SBxPWRSYS2, or AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC
Power Supply: The power supplies are operating properly when
the AC and DC LEDs are solid green and Fault LEDs are off. If
there is a problem with a power supply, refer to “AT-
SBxPWRSYS1, AT-SBxPWRSYS2, or AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC
Power Supply” on page 214 for troubleshooting suggestions.
AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power Supply: The power supply is
operating properly when the DC IN and DC OUT LEDs are solid
green and Fault LED is off. If there is a problem, refer to “AT-
SBxPWRSYS1 DC System Power Supply” on page 216 for
troubleshooting suggestions.
2. Check the Power LED on the AT-SBxFAN12 module. The module is
operating normally when the LED is solid green. If the LED is off, the
fan module has a problem or failed. Powe r off the chassis and contact
your Allied Telesis representative for assistance. Do not operate the
chassis without a fully operational fan unit.
3. If the chassis has one controller card, check its M/S LED. It should be
solid green. If the LED is flashing amber, the card is still initializing its
management software. If the LED is still flashing amber after another
minute, the card may have encountered a problem completing the
initialization process. Power off the chassis and replace the controller
card.
Note
If all the LEDs on the controller card are off, they may have been
turned off. Try pressing the eco-friendly button on the card to turn
them on.
4. If the chassis has two controller cards, check the M/S LEDs on both
cards. The cards are operating correctly when the LEDs are green on
one card and amber or flashing amber on the other. If both LEDs are
flashing amber, the controller cards are still completing phase 1 of the
initialization process. If neither LED changes to green after another
minute, the cards have encountered a problem that prevents them
from completing the initialization phase. Power off the chassis and
replace the cards.
SwitchBlade x3112 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx31CFC Card Installation Guide
207
5. To check the status of the Ethernet line cards, inspect the SBx Status
LEDs on the controller card. (If the chassis has two controller cards,
you may use the LEDs on either the active or inactive card.) A line card
is operating normally when it corresponding LED is solid green. The
LED flashes green as the card initializes its management software. If
an LED is flashing green after two minutes, the corresponding line card
may have a problem. For example, the line card in slot 2 of the chassis
is operating normally when the SBx Status 2 LED is solid green. For
troubleshooting suggestions, refer to “Ethernet Line Cards” on
page 218.
6. To check the status of the links of the ind ividual ports on the line cards,
inspect the L/A LEDs on the cards. The LEDs should be solid or
flashing green on ports that are connected to active network devices. If
there is a problem with a link, refer to “Twisted Pair Ports” on page 220
and “Fiber Optic Transceivers” on page 224 for troubleshooting
suggestions.
7. To check the status of PoE on the ports of the AT-SBx31GP24 Line
Card, use the PoE LEDs, shown in Figure 17 on page 39 and
described in Table 8 on page 39. The LEDs are solid green when ports
are delivering power to powered devices on your network. If there is a
problem, refer to “Power Over Ethernet” on page 222 for
troubleshooting suggestions.
8. If the LEDs indicate that the chassis components are operating
normally, you should perform the procedure in the next section to
establish a management session with the chassis and confirm the
hardware operations with the command line commands.
Chapter 10: Verifying the Hardware Operations of the Chassis
208
Using Local Management to Verify the Chassis
This section explains how to confirm the opera tions of the chassis with the
commands in the management software on the controller card. The
section has the following procedure:
“Starting a Local Management Session” on page 208
“Entering the Management Software Commands” on page 209
The initial management session must be a local management session. For
instructions on how to configure the chassis for remote management with
Telnet and Secure Shell clients, refer to Software Reference for
SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches.
Starting a Local
Management
Session
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the RJ-45 end of the management card included with the AT-
SBx31CFC Controller Fabric Card to the Console RS-232 port on the
front panel of the AT-SBx31CFC Card, as shown in Figure 141. If the
chassis has two controller cards, you must connect the cable to the
Console RS-232 port on the active card. To determine which card is
the active card, examine the M/S LEDs. The LEDs are green on the
active card and amber on the standby card.
Figure 141. Connecting the Management Cable to the Console RS-232
Port

209
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or
personal computer with a terminal emulation program.
3. Configure the VT-100 terminal or terminal emulation program as
follows:
Baud rate: 115,200 bps
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
Note
The port settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an
equivalent terminal emulator program.
4. Press Enter. You are prompted for a user name and password.
5. Enter the default user name and password. They are “manager” and
“friend” (without the quotes), respectively
Note
User names and passwords are case sensitive.
The local management session starts and the command line interface
(CLI) prompt is displayed.
Entering the
Management
Software
Commands
To confirm the operations of the chassis with the commands in the
management software, perform the following procedure:
1. To display the status of the power supplies, enter the SHOW PSU
command.
An example of the status information is shown in Figure 142. The
power supplies are operating normally when the states are UP-UP. If
there is a problem with a power supply, refer to “AT-SBxPWRSYS1,
AT-SBxPWRSYS2, or AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC Power Supply” on

AT-SBxPWRSYS1, AT-SBxPWRSYS2, or AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC
Power Supply
A power supply is operating normally when its AC and DC LEDs are solid
green and the Fault LED is off. Possible fault conditions and their solutions
are described here:
Fault Condition 1: If the AC LED is off, the power supply is not receiving
power, has overheated and been disabled, or has failed and needs to be
replaced. Try the following:
Verify that the power supply is installed in the correct slot in the
chassis. The AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply uses slots A and B
and the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 and AT-SBxPWRSYS2 Power
Supplies use slots C and D.
Verify that there is a power cord connected to the power supply’s
connector on the back panel of the chassis. For example, if a
power supply in slot C does not have power, check for a power
cord on connector C on the back panel.
Verify that the power cord is securely connected to the chassis and
the AC power source.
Verify that the AC power has power by connecting another device
to it.
Verify that the power from the AC power source is within the
required levels for your region.
If the chassis is still operating, use the SHOW PSU or SHOW PSU
ALL command from a local or remote management session to
determine if the power supply has overheated and shutdown.
Fault Condition 2: If the AC LED is solid green and the DC LED is off, the
power unit is generating insufficient DC power. Replace the power supply.
Fault Condition 3: If the Fault L ED is solid amber, try the solut ions in Fault
Condition 1. If they do not resolve the problem, replace the power supply.
Note
The power supplies are hot swappable. You do not have to power
off the chassis to replace a failed power supply or install a new
power supply.
Fault Condition 4: If the LEDs on the power supply indicate normal
operations but the PSU LED on the active master controller card is
showing a fault condition, the problem may be with one of the two power
supply interfaces (opto-couplers) on the rear panel of the chassis. For
troubleshooting suggestions, refer to “Power Supply Interfaces (Opto-
couplers)” on page 230.

Caution
The power supply interfaces are not hot swappable and should only
be serviced by an authorized service technician.
Chapter 11: Troubleshooting
216
AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC System Power Supply
If you suspect a problem with the DC power supply, examine its LEDs.
The power supply is operating normally when the DC IN and DC OUT
LEDs are solid green and the Fault LED is off. Possible fault conditions
and their solutions are described here:
Fault Condition 1: If the DC IN LED is off, the power supply is not receiving
power, has overheated and been disabled, or has failed and needs to be
replaced. Try the following:
Verify that the power supply is installed in the correct slot in the
chassis. The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power Supply has to be
installed in slot C or D.
Verify that the On/Off switch on the power supply is in the On
position.
Verify that the DC circuit breaker is on.
Verify that the positive and negative power wires are correctly and
securely connected to the terminal block on the power supply and
circuit breaker.
Verify that the DC circuit break has power by attaching another
device to it.
Verify that the power from the DC circuit break is within the
required levels of the power supply. Refer to “Power
Specifications” on page 266.
If the chassis is still operating, use the SHOW PSU or SHOW PSU
ALL command from a local or remote management session to
determine if the power supply has overheated and shutdown.
Fault Condition 2: If the DC IN LED is solid green but the DC OUT LED is
off, the power unit is generating insufficient DC power. Re place the po wer
supply.
Fault Condition 3: If the Fault L ED is solid amber, try the solut ions in Fault
Condition 1. If they do not resolve the problem, replace the power supply.
Note
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power Supply is hot swappable. If the
chassis contains two power supplies and one unit fails, you do not
have to power off the operational power supply when you replace
the failed unit.
Fault Condition 4: If the LEDs on the power supply indicate normal
operations but the PSU LED on the active maste r controller card is off or is
showing a fault condition, the problem may be with one of the two power

Caution
The power supply interfaces are not hot swappable and should only
be serviced by an authorized service technician.
Chapter 11: Troubleshooting
218
Ethernet Line Cards
A quick and easy way to check the overall he ath of the Ethernet line cards
in the chassis is by examining the SBx STATUS LEDs on the controller
card. (If the chassis has two controller cards, you may use the LEDs on
either card.) There are twelve LEDs, numbered 0 to 11. A solid green LED
indicates that the card in the corresponding slot is operating normally. The
Ethernet line card in slot 2 of the chassis, for example, is operating
properly when the SBx STATUS LED 2 on the controller card is solid
green.
If you suspect a problem with an Ethernet line card or controller card, try
the following:
If all the L/A LEDs on the card are of f, try pressing the eco-frien dly
button on the active master controller card to verify that the LEDs
on the line cards are on.
Check the card’s status LED in the SBx STATUS LEDs on the
controller card. If the LED is flashing amber, the card is initializing
its management software. Wait one to two minutes for the card to
complete the process. If the LED does not change to green, try
installing the line card in a different slot. If the problem remains, the
card cannot complete the initialization process. Try installing the
card in another chassis with a different controller card.
If the card’s status LED in the SBx STATUS LEDs on the controller
card is solid amber, the card might not be able to boot up because
the controller card does not have its load file. This can happen if a
line card requires a newer version of the management software
than what is currently on the controller card. To correct the
problem, update the management software on the controller card
to the latest release.
A line card may not boot properly if the load file has not be set
correctly with the SET CARD PREFLOAD command on the active
master controller card.
Here are some other steps to try:
Check that the card is completely installed in the slot and that the
front plate is flush with the front of the chassis.
Try resetting the card with the RESTART CARD command. The
example of the command restarts the card in slot 2:
officer SEC>> restart card 2
You will be prompted as follows - enter y for YES:
Do you really want to restart card 2 (Y/N) ? y
SwitchBlade x3112 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx31CFC Card Installation Guide

Command has been submitted
officer SEC>>
Try installing the card in a different slot. If it works in the new slot,
the problem is with the previous slot.
Try installing the card in a different chassis. If it works in the new
chassis, the problem is with the previous chassis. If the problem
persists, the problem is with the card.
You can obtain card status information with the SwitchBlade x3 112
Management Software and the SHOW CARD command, as shown
in Figure 144 on page 211.
Chapter 11: Troubleshooting

Twisted Pair Ports
The ports on the AT-SBx31GT24 and AT-SBx31GP24 Line Cards have
L/A LEDs that are solid or flashing green when the ports are operating at
1000 Mbps, and solid or flashing amber at 10 or 100 Mbps. If a port is
cabled to a network device but the L/A LED is off, try the following:
If all of the L/A LEDs on the card are off, try pressing the eco-
friendly button on the active master controller card to verify that the
LEDs on the line cards are on.
Verify that the end node connected to the port is powered on and
operating properly.
Check that the twisted pair cable is securely connected to the ports
on the line card and the end node.
Make sure that the twisted pair cable does no t excee d 100 m (328
ft).
Refer to Table 13 on page 54 and Table 14 on page 55 to verify
the appropriate categories of twisted-pair cables for the AT-
SBx31GT24 and AT-SBx31GP24 Line Cards, respectively.
Verify that the twisted-pair cable is not faulty by replacing it with a
known good cable.
Make sure that the operating parameters of the port on the line
card and the parameters of the end node are compatible.
Use the SHOW INTERFACE and ENABLE INTERFACE
commands to be sure that the port is enabled.
If the L/A LED for a port is green, signalling a link to the network device,
but link performance is poor or intermittent, the problem may be from a
bad cable. Try replacing the cable, as explained in “Guidelines to Cabling
the Twisted Pair Ports on AT-SBx31GP24, AT-SBx31GT24, and AT-
SBx31GT40 Line Cards” on page 144.
Another source of poor or intermittent performance on a link can be a
speed or duplex mode mismatch between a port and network device. Here
are some items to consider when resolving this type of problem:
The default speed setting for the ports on the AT-SBx31GT24 and
AT-SBx31GP24 Line Cards is Auto-Negotiation. This setting is
appropriate for ports connected to network devices that also
support Aut-Negotiation.
The default speed setting of Auto-Negotiation is not appropria te for
ports connected to network devices that do not support Auto-
Negotiation and have fixed speeds or 10 or 100 Mbps. For those
switch ports, you should disable Auto-Negotiation and set the
port’s speed manually to match the speeds of the network devices.
SwitchBlade x3112 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx31CFC Card Installation Guide
221
The ports must be set to Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, to
operate at 1000Mbps.
The default duplex mode setting for the ports is Auto-Negotiation.
This setting is appropriate for ports connected to network devices
that also support Auto-Negotiation for duplex modes.
The default duplex mode setting of Auto-Negotiation is not
appropriate for ports connected to network devices that do not
support Auto-Negotiation and have a fixed duplex mode. Disable
Auto-Negotiation on those ports and set the duplex modes
manually to avoid the possibility of duplex mode mismatches. A
switch port using Auto-Negotiation defaults to half-duplex if it
detects that the end node is not using Auto-Negotiatio n, which can
result in a mismatch if the end node is operating at a fixed duplex
mode of full-duplex.
Note
The AT-SBx31GT40 Line Card does not support half-duplex mode.
Yet another source for a poor or intermittent link can be a MDI/MDIX wiring
configuration mismatch. The wiring configurations of the ports on the AT-
SBx31GT24, AT-SBx31GT40, and AT-SBx31GP24 Line Cards are set
automatically with au toma tic MDIX detection when the po rts are operating
at 10 or 100 Mbps. (Automatic MDIX detection does not ap ply to the ports
when they are operating at 1000 Mbps.) You may not disable this feature
on the ports. For automatic MDIX detection to work successfully, the
network device connected to a port must also support the feature. If it do es
not, a port on the card defaults to MDIX. This may require the use of a
crossover cable. Here are the guidelines to choosing straight-through or
crossover cables for the ports:
You may use straight-through cables on ports that are connected
to network devices that operate at 1000 Mbps.
You may use straight-through or crossover cables on po rts that are
connected to network devices that support automatic MDIX
detection and that operate at 10 or 100 Mbps.
You must use straight-through cables on ports that are connected
to network devices that have a fixed wiring configuration of MDI
and that operate at 10 or 100 Mbps.
You must use crossover cables on ports that are connected to
network devices that have a f ixed wiring configuration of MDIX and
that operate at 10 or 100 Mbps.

Power Over Ethernet
This section applies only to the AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card. The ports on
the line card have two LEDs each. The left LED provides port link and
activity status and the right LED provides PoE status information. The PoE
LED is solid green when a port is delivering power to a powered device
(PD). The PoE LED of a port that is not delivering power will be flashing
amber, steady amber, or off. If a powered device is not receiving power
from a port on the line card, try the following:
If all the L/A LEDs on the line cards in the chassis are off, try
pressing the eco-friendly button on the active master controller
card to turn on the LEDs.
Check to be sure that the chassis has at least one AT-
SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply and that the unit is operating
properly. The AC and DC LEDs should be solid green and the
Fault LED should be off. For troubleshooting suggestions, refer to
“AT-SBxPWRSYS1, AT-SBxPWRSYS2, or AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC
Power Supply” on page 214.
Review the PD’s documentat ion to confirm that it supports Mode A
of the IEEE 802.3at standard. Mode A is one of two modes that
define the connector pins that deliver the power from the port on
the line card to the PD. In Mode A, the power is carried on pins 1,
2, 3, and 6 on the RJ-45 port, the same pins that carry the network
traffic. The second mode, Mode B, defines pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 as
the power carriers. The AT-SBx31GP24 Line Card does not
support Mode B. Most powered devices are designed to accept
power by either mode, but some legacy devices may only support
one mode. This can be verified by reviewing the device’s
documentation or data sheet. Legacy devices that only support
Mode B will not work with this line card.
Check that the device’s power requirements do not exceed 30 W.
This can be verified by reviewing the device’s documentation or
data sheet.
Verify that you are using the appropriate category of twisted-pair
cable by referring to Table 14 on page 55.
Try replacing the twisted-pair cable, as explained in “Guidelines to
Cabling the Twisted Pair Ports on AT-SBx31GP24, AT-
SBx31GT24, and AT-SBx31GT40 Line Cards” on page 144.
Use the SHOW POE INTERFACE command in the management
software to determine whether PoE is enabled on the port. The
default setting for PoE is enabled.
Use the SHOW POE INTERFACE command to determine whether
the PoE power setting for the port has been reduced to a value
below the power requirements of the device.
SwitchBlade x3112 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx31CFC Card Installation Guide
223
Use the SHOW POE CARD command to determine whether the
switch has reach its maximum power budget.
Try connecting the PD to a port on a different AT-SBx31GP24 Line
Card.

Fiber Optic Transceivers
The L/A LEDs on the AT-SBx31GS24, AT-SBx31GC40, AT-SBx31XS6,
and AT-SBx31XZ4 Line Cards are solid or flashing green when ports on
fiber optic transceivers have links to end nodes. If a transceiver is cabled
to an end node but the L/A LED is off, try the following:
If all of the L/A LEDs on the line cards in the chassis are off, try
pressing the eco-friendly button on the active master controller
card to turn on the LEDs.
Check that the fiber optic transceiver is firmly inserted into the slot
on the line card.
Check that both ends of the fiber optic cable are securely
connected to the ports on the transceiver and end node.
Verify that the end node is powered on and operating properly.
Review the operating specifications of the fiber optic transceiver
and end node to verify that the devices have the same speed and
duplex mode.
Check that the operating specifications, including wavelength and
maximum operating distance, of the transceiver are compatible
with the fiber optic port on the end node.
Make sure that you are using the appropriate type of fiber optic
cable and that the cable length does not exceed the allowed
maximum distance. The cable specifications for the transceivers
are provided in the installation instructions that ship with the
modules.
Use a fiber optic tester to test the whether the optical signal is too
weak (i.e., sensitivity) or too strong (i.e., maximum input power).
The operating specifications of the fiber optic transceivers are
shipped with the units.
If the problem is with an XFP transceiver in the AT-SBx31XZ4 Line
Card, be sure that the transceiver and end node are IEEE 802.3ae
(10G Ethernet) and XFP MSA compliant. An XFP transceiver or
port that meets a “Fiber Channel” standard may not link up
properly with its counterpart device.
Try replacing the fiber optic cable.
For SFP and XFP transceivers, check the two strands of the fiber
optic cable to be sure that the receive fiber co nnector is connected
to the transmit connector on the remote end node, and that the
transmit fiber connector is connected to the receive connector on
the end node.
If a fiber port on a CSFP transceiver in the AT-SBx31GC40 Line
Card cannot establish a link with a remote network device,
compare the transmit and receive wavelengths of the transceiver
SwitchBlade x3112 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx31CFC Card Installation Guide
225
and network device. The devices must be transmitting and
receiving on opposite wavelengths. For example, if the fiber port on
the CSFP transceiver transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310
nm, than the port on the remote network device must transmit at
1310 nm and receive at 1550 nm.
Chapter 11: Troubleshooting

AT-SBx31CFC Controller Fabric Card
If the chassis has one controller card and it fails, all network operations
stop. The Ethernet line cards do not forward network traffic until the
controller card is replaced.
If the chassis has two controller cards and one fails, the Ethernet line
cards continue to forward traffic, but the traffic bandwidth of each line card
slot is reduced from 40 to 20Gbps, which may result in slower network
operations.
The M/S LED on the controller card in a chassis that has only one
controller card should be solid green to indicate normal operations. If the
LED is flashing amber, wait one or two minutes for the card to complete
the initialization process and check the LED again. If it has not changed to
solid green, the card may have encountered a problem completing the
initialization process. To resolve the problem, you might try moving the
controller card to the other controller card slot, slot 4 or 5, to see if it works
in the new slot, or connecting a terminal or PC with a terminal emulator
program to the Console RS232 port to watch for error messages.
If the chassis has two controller cards, the M/S LEDs should be solid
green on one card and solid or flashing amber on the other card. If both
LEDs are flashing amber, wait one or two minutes for the cards to
complete the initialization process and check the LEDs again. If both LEDs
are still flashing amber, the cards may have encountered a problem
completing the initialization process. Try replacing the cards.
Fault Condition 1: If all the LEDs on the controller card are off, try the
following:
Press the eco-friendly button on the active master control card to
verify that the LEDs on the cards are on.
Check that the card is completely installed in the slot and that the
front plate is flush with the front of the chassis.
Fault Condition 2: If the controller card has a state of Up-Up-Degraded
when you perform the SHOW CARD command in “Entering the
Management Software Commands” on page 209, you might not of
removed the battery insulator when you installed the card. (Refer to Figure
69 on page 132.) To confirm this, enter the SHOW CARD with the slot
number of the controller card to display additional information: For
example, to display information about the controller card in slot 4, you
enter:
show card 4
The card still has the battery insulator if the Card Fault section of the
window includes an “RTC Battery” fault. To resolve the problem, remove
SwitchBlade x3112 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx31CFC Card Installation Guide
227
the controller card from the unit and remove the insulator. The controller
card is hot-swappable and can be removed while the chassis is powered
on. For instructions, refer to “Replacing the AT-SBx31CFC Controller
Fabric Card” on page 253.
Fault Condition 3: If you are unable to establish a local (out-of-band)
management session with the switch throug h the Console RS-232 po rt on
the front panel, do the following:
Check to be sure that the RJ-45 serial management cable is
securely connected to the Console RS-232 port on the active
master control card and the RS-232 port on the terminal or
personal computer.
If the chassis has two controller ca rds, verify that the management
cable is connected to the active master control card. You can
identify the active master card by examining the M/S LED. The
LED is solid green on the active master control card and solid or
flashing amber on the inactive master card.
Check to be sure that the operating parameters on the terminal or
the terminal emulation program have been set correctly. The
default settings for the RJ-45 serial terminal port are located in
“Using Local Management to Verify the Chassis” on page 208.
Check to be sure that the terminal emulator application is
compatible with a VT-100 terminal.
Fault Condition 4: The controller card has an onboard battery that it uses
to maintain the date and time when the chassis is powered off or reset. If
you manually set the date and time but the ca rd loses the information after
you power off or reset the unit, you may have forgotten to remove the
battery insulator when you installed the card in the chassis. The insulator
is shown in Figure 69 on page 132. The only way to remedy the problem is
to remove the controller card from the chassis and remove the battery
insulator. For instructions, refer to “Replacing the AT-SBx31CFC
Controller Fabric Card” on page 253.

228
AT-SBxFAN12 Fan Module
The AT-SBxFAN12 Fan Module is operating correctly when the POWER
LED on the module is solid green. If the LED on the fan module is off,
check the FAN LED in the SYS STATUS section on the active master
controller card. The LED should be green. If the FAN LED is off or flashing
amber, one or more fans in the module are no longer operating properly.
You may also view the status of the unit with the SHOW FANMODULE
command in the management software.
You may notice changes in the fan speeds. This is normal. The active
master controller card automatically adjusts the fan speeds according to
the internal temperature of the chassis.
Note
The AT-SBxFAN12 Fan Module is hot swappable. You do not have
to power off the AT-SBx3112 Chassis to replace the module.

Local (Out-of-Band) Management Session
If you are unable to establish a local (out-of-band) management session
with the switch through the Console RS-232 port on the front panel, do the
following:
Check to be sure that the RJ-45 serial management cable is
securely connected to the Console RS-232 port on the active
master controller card and the RS-232 port on the terminal or
personal computer.
If the chassis has two controller ca rds, verify that the management
cable is connected to the active master controller card. You can
discern the active master card by examining the M/S LED. The
LED is solid green on the active master controller card and solid or
flashing amber on the inactive master card.
Check to be sure that the operating parameters on the terminal or
the terminal emulation program, if you are using a personal
computer, have been set correctly. The default settings for the RJ-
45 serial terminal port are located in “Using Local Management to
Verify the Chassis” on page 208.
Check to be sure that the terminal emulator application is
compatible with a VT-100 terminal.
Chapter 11: Troubleshooting
230
Power Supply Interfaces (Opto-couplers)
The two power supply interfaces in the lower right corner of the rear panel
are used by the active master controller card to obtain status information
from the power supplies. The interfaces are shown in Figure 3 on page 22.
Each power supply interface supports two power units. The top interface
supports the power supplies in slots A and C. The bottom interface
supports the supplies in slots B and D.
An interface is operating n ormally when its Power LED is solid gre en. The
LED of an interface is off if the two corresponding power supply slots are
empty or the power supplies are not powered on. For example, the LED
for the bottom interface will be off if power supply slots B and D are empty
or if the power supplies are off.
The network operations of the chassis are not affected If one or both of the
interfaces fail. However. the active master controller card changes the
PSU LED to flashing amber to signal the loss of communications to the
power supplies.
Note
The power supply interfaces are not hot swappable and ca n only be
serviced by an authorized service technician.
If the Power LED on a power supply interface is off, do the following:
1. Check that there are power supplies in the corresponding slots in the
front panel and that the power supplies are powered on. (The Power
LED on an interface is off when the slots are empty or the power
supplies are not powered on.)
2. Inspect the LEDs on the power supplies to check for a fault condition,
If there is a fault condition, go to “AT-SBxPWRSYS1, AT-
SBxPWRSYS2, or AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC Power Supply” on page 214
for troubleshooting suggestions. If the LEDs indicate the power
supplies are operating normally, go to step 3.
3. Check the PSU LED on the active master controller card. If the LED is
solid green, the power su pplies and interfaces are operating normally.
No corrective steps are required. If the PSU LED is solid amber but the
LEDs on the power supplie s indicate n ormal operations, there may be
a problem with a power supply interface. Contact your Allied Telesis
sales representative for assistance.
