Chapter 3 Installing and Removing the Uplink Cards

Verifying Uplink Card Functionality

Verifying Uplink Card Functionality

Observe the LEDs card is initialized (see Figure 3-31) and consult the LED tables in Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting the Uplink Cards,” to verify the status of the card. The console/auxiliary card contains only the four system LEDs on the right side of the card.
