Applies to:

Fujitsu M10-4S - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

In a M10-4s multiple building block configuration, all the fiber cables can make troubleshooting them very complex.
It is very hard to locate loose or crossed cables

Solution

If the LSB is allocated to a ppar the associated ppar must be powered off.

On the main XSCFU, use the diagxbu command to find loose, missing, or crossed cables.  Please see the examples below.

TEST #1
----------------------------
No cables pulled , normal results
