Chapter 3 Viewing and Managing NE Properties
Viewing the Physical Properties of a Device
Fans and power supplies are displayed in physical inventory if they are field replacable units (FRUs).
The manner in which the fans are displayed depends on whether the fans can be separated or not:
• If the fans under the fan trays are inseparable, only the fan trays are represented.
• If the fans under the fan trays can be separated, they are shown as separate items in physical
inventory.
The window displayed for all the devices is similar in appearance. However, the individual sections that
are displayed depends on the selected item. For example, when a port that supports pluggable
transceivers is selected, the Pluggable Transceiver section is displayed. This section provides
information such as the port connector’s type and serial number, as well as an indication whether a
transceiver is currently plugged in.
Figure 3-6 shows an example of a selection in physical inventory and the available buttons.
