3.2.2.1.8Power LED

The power LED that is located to the right of the display LED on the front panel of the SCP reflects the current state of power to the SCP. Table 1.4 lists the states of the power LED and their meanings.

	Table 3.4 - Power LED Description
LED Color	Meaning
red	The SCP has power, but has failed. (The individual
	SCP, not the entire switch, has not passed
	self-diagnostics.)
green	The SCP is powered up and is in good status.
off	There is no power to the SCP.

A power switch is located on the upper right-hand corner of the SFCS- 200WG. When the power is turned on, the power LED, located to the right of the display LED, illuminates green and the initial power-on diagnostics are run. When the power is turned off, the power LED is extinguished.

3.2.3 Network Modules

The network modules in a Cabletron switch board act as the physical input/ output ports to the switch board. A network module may have one, two, four, or six physical ports, depending on its configuration.

3.2.3.1Port Numbering

The individual ports on a network module are numbered according to the Board-Network Module-Port (BNP) notation.

Board Refers to the number of the switch board that contains the port being numbered. “Board” is always 1 in an SFCS-200BX, or an SFCS-200WG, since these switches each contain only one switch board. “Board” can be 1, 2, 3, or 4 in an SFCS-1000, depending on the number of the physical switch board that contains the port being numbered.

Network Module Refers to the slot (A, B, C, or D) in the switch board that contains the port being numbered.

Port Refers to the physical port (1 - 6) being num- bered on the individual network module.
