4 Gb/s link up:

For 4 Gb/s adapters, a solid Green LED and triple blinking (4 Hz) yellow LED.

For 8 Gb/s adapters, a solid green LED and a fast triple blinking yellow LED.

8 Gb/s link up:

For 8 Gb/s adapters, a solid Green LED and fast quadruple blinking (4 Hz) yellow LED.

Link-Down or adapter waiting

The difference between slow and fast blinking LEDs is obvious. A slow green flashing LED with the yellow off can means either:

The adapter just powered on and is waiting for the driver to give it instructions.

The link is down. If the link was up and the cable was pulled or switch turned off, then the adapter will return to this state.

Heart-beat indication

If adapter is operational, at least one of the LEDs will blink at some rate.

No valid state if the yellow LED is solid or off.

Power Indicator LEDs

Some adapter models also have a separate green 3.3V power indicator LED.

Adapter models LP9402DC, LP1050, LP1050DC, LP10000 and LP10000 have an LED located on the upper back corner of the adapter (not at the mounting bracket). If it is on, the adapter has power.

Adapter model LP9002C has an additional LED on the mounting bracket labeled, “Power”. If this LED is lighted, the cPCI bus slot is supplying 3.3V power to the adapter.

LP21000 LEDs

The LP21000 uses an LED scheme that supports Emulex CNAs.

Green (Ethernet Link) ON solid = Link up ON/OFF intermittent = Activity OFF = No Link

Yellow (Adapter status; standard Emulex adapter)

Green (Adapter status; standard Emulex adapter)
