LAN 1/LAN 2 LEDs

Two LAN ports (LAN 1/LAN 2) are located on the IO Backplane of the motherboard. Each Ethernet LAN port has two LEDs. The yellow LED indicates activity, while the Link LED may be green, amber or off to indicate the speed of the connections. See the tables at right for more information.

IPMI Dedicated LAN LEDs

In addition to LAN 1/LAN 2, an IPMI Dedi- cated LAN is also located on the X8SIL/ X8SIL-F. The yellow LED on the right indicates activity, while the green LED on the left indicates the speed of the con- nection. See the tables at right for more information.
