Chapter 4: Media server configuration

Checking LED activity on the dual NIC

When the S8500 Media Server is in service, check the LEDs on each port of the dual network interface card (NIC) for connection and activity. Ensure that the LED on the left that indicates connection is lit and the LED on the right that indicates activity is lit or blinking. For dual-NIC LED information, see Figure 10: S8500B rear panel dual-NIC LEDs on page 46.

Note:

The dual NIC is optional with the S8500B but ships installed with the S8500C. The dual NIC is located on the rear panel in different positions on the S8500B and S8500C but the port LEDs are the same. See Figure 2: S8500C back panel on page 11 for a diagram of the S8500C back panel.
