Dell 610 manual Ljxuh, RQQHFWLQJWRD1HWZRUN

The NIC connector on the computer’s back panel (see Figure 5-1) has the following indicators:

‡A yellow activity indicator flashes when the system is transmitting or receiving network data. (A high volume of network traffic may make this indicator appear to be in a steady “on” state.)

‡A green link integrity indicator lights up when there is a good connection between the network and the NIC. When the green indicator is off, the computer is not detecting a physical connection to the network or the power source to the computer has been shut off.
