5.4.1 Slot Compatibility
You can install the E1000-2 card in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17. The E1000-2 is compatible with the XCVT
card but not the XC10G or and XC-VXC-10G cards. The E1000-2-G is compatible with the XC10G and
XC-VXC-10G.
5.4.2 E1000-2 Card-Level Indicators
The E1000-2 card faceplate has two card-level LED indicators, described in Table 5 -7.
5.4.3 E1000-2 Port-Level Indicators
The E1000-2 card has one bicolor LED per port (Table 5-8 ). When the LED is solid green, it indicates
that carrier is detected, meaning an active network cable is installed. When the LED is off, it indicates
that an active network cable is not plugged into the port, or the card is carrying unidirectional traffic.
When the LED flashes amber, it does so at a rate proportional to the level of traffic being received and
transmitted over the port.
5.4.4 Cross-Connect Compatibility
The E1000-2 is compatible with XCVT cards. The XC10G and XC-VXC-10G cards require the
E1000-2-G card.
Table 5-7 E1000-2 Card-Level Indicators
Card-Level Indicators Description
FAIL LED (Red) The red FAIL LED indicates that the card processor is not ready or that a
catastrophic software failure occurred on the E1000-2 card. As part of the
boot sequence, the FAIL LED is turned on until the software deems the card
operational.
ACT LED (Green) The green ACT LED provides the operational status of the E1000-2. When
the ACT LED is green it indicates that the E1000-2 card is active and the
software is operational.
SF LED Not used.

LED State Description
Amber The port is active (transmitting and receiving data).
Solid green The link is established.
Off The connection is inactive, or traffic is unidirectional.
