HPE Synergy 4-Port Frame Link Module components and LEDs

NOTE:

HPE Synergy 4-Port Frame Link Modules require supported SFP+ DAC cables or SFP+ transceivers for cabling. For more information, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.



Item Description Function

1

MGMT port activity LED

Reports MGMT port activity:

  • Flashing green = Activity on the MGMT port

  • Off = No activity on the MGMT port

2

LINK port activity LED

Reports LINK port activity:

  • Flashing green = Activity on the LINK port

  • Off = No activity on the LINK port

3

KVM port

NOTE:

Connection to the KVM port requires an HPE Synergy 4-Port Frame Link Module USB Adapter.

NOTE:

Supports storage devices that are USB 2.0 compatible.

When an HPE Synergy 4-Port Frame Link Module USB Adapter is installed, the HPE Synergy 4-Port Frame Link Module:
  • Allows connection to the frame using a supported USB device.

    Devices include a keyboard or mouse for connecting to the HPE Synergy Console. To connect multiple devices, a USB hub (not included) is required.

  • Allows connection to the frame using a monitor device or an active monitor port adapter.

Used for performing a USB recovery frame link module firmware update.

8

UID button / LED

Toggles the UID LED on or off.

  • Solid blue = Activated

  • Off = Deactivated

  • Flashing blue = Firmware upgrade is in progress on the frame link module.

When turned on, the frame UID LED on the front panel also turns on. This synchronization allows identification of the frame from the front or rear.

Do not remove either frame link module while the UID LED is flashing.

9

USB adapter thumbscrew connection

For securing an HPE Synergy 4-Port Frame Link Module USB Adapter to the HPE Synergy 4-Port Frame Link Module.

Health LED

Provides the health status of the frame link module.

  • Solid green = Normal operation
  • Flashing amber = Warning
  • Flashing red = Critical error

    If the Health LED indicates a warning or a critical error, connect to HPE OneView or to the HPE Synergy Console for more information and troubleshooting assistance.

11

LINK port

SFP+ connector that provides the following functions:

IMPORTANT:

Use supported SFP+ 10GbE DAC cables or transceivers for LINK port connections. For more information, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

  • Provides high availability management network connectivity between:
    • LINK ports on two frame link modules in the same frame for a single frame configuration

    • Frame link modules in different frames as part of a management network ring in a multiframe configuration

  • Provides management ring (frame link topology) connectivity for automatic frame discovery by HPE OneView.

12

MGMT port

SFP+ connector that provides the following functions:

IMPORTANT:

Use supported SFP+ DAC cables or transceivers for MGMT port connections. For more information, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

IMPORTANT:

The transceiver or cable used must match the port speed of the switch used for management network connectivity.

  • Provides a management uplink to the management network.

  • 10GbE or 1GbE based on the cable or transceiver used.
