Chapter 1 Product Overview

Front-Panel LEDs

The 10/100 Ethernet management port, MGMT 10/100, has two LEDs, labeled ACT and SPEED. The ACT LED is located at the left-bottom corner of the port; the SPEED LED is located at the right-bottom corner of the port.

The 10/100 Ethernet HA port, HA 10/100, has two LEDs, labeled ACT and SPEED. The ACT LED is located at the left-bottom corner of the port; the SPEED LED is located at the right-bottom corner of the port.

Each Fibre Channel port, FC 1 through FC 8, has two LEDs, labeled ACT and LOG. The LEDs are located to the left of each Fibre Channel port.

Table 1-1describes the LED indications.
