Card LEDs

The 6 LEDs on the back of the card can be used to determine the state of the adapter while the driver on the system is running.

All of the LEDs on the card (except the Power LED) are initialized by the driver when the link is started on the system. Therefore, until the driver initializes the card, the state of the LEDs cannot be reliably interpreted.

The Power LED will be on at any time power is applied to the system. To interpret the other LEDs, the driver must be running. The following Table 2-1,can be used to determine a possible problem.
