Troubleshooting, Label Color Function | Znyx Networks ZX470 Series

Troubleshooting

1.Make sure the board is securely seated in the slot.

2.Observe the LED’s. Each port on the ZX478 has a LINK (green) LED and an ACTIVITY (amber) LED. The green LED illuminates upon successfully establishing a link. The amber LED illuminates during transmit/receive activity. Note: In most cases, the driver must be properly loaded and configured to bring up the link. It is off if there is no link established.

Each ZX478 also has LED's for Power, Operational, Internal and External fault indicators. The status LED is duplicated on both the front and rear panels. The front panel also includes an LED indicating continuity with the Rear-Transition Module. The front panel also includes the industry-standard blue LED next to the bottom Hot-Swap ejector tab. The LED's are defined by the following table:

Label	Color	Function
Power	Green	ON indicates power.

Operational	Green	ON indicates driver loaded and
		board has passed internal tests.

Rear Panel	Green	ON indicates electrical
		continuity between adapter and
		rear-transition module.

Internal Fault	Amber	ON indicates a failure of the
		internal tests.

External Fault	Amber	ON indicates a failure external
		to the adapter- inability to
		establish link on a configured
		port, or another connectivity
		problem external to the adapter.

Hot Swap	Blue	ON during removal/insertion
		of adapter, signifying system
		readiness for transition.

3.Refer to operating system specific documentation to evaluate any error messages or logs when the driver is loaded.
