Checking the LEDs

When you connect the power cord to the Express 100BASE-T4 Stackable Hub, the hub performs a confidence test. During this test, the hub’s Stat LED lights amber to indicate the test is in progress.

When the confidence test successfully completes, the LEDs on the hub’s front panel should appear as follows:

The Pwr LED lights green, indicating the hub is receiving power.

The Stat LED lights green, indicating the hub passed the confidence test and is operating normally.
