PCI Board Slot Status LEDs

Up to three PCI boards may be installed in each PCI Module. One of these slots is dedicated to the VGA graphics board. Refer to Figure 1-5 for the location on the PCI board slot status LEDs. To show the status of PCI board slots, each PCI module has three status LEDs. The PCI Board Slot status LEDs are described in the following table.

Hard Disk LED

A hard disk LED shows the status of hard disks that are mounted in the 3.5-inch device bay. Combined, the two hard disk LEDs on PCI modules 1 and 2 show the status of the hard disks. Refer to Figure 1-4 for the location of the hard disk LEDs.

Tips:

!When there are many accesses, the access LED will blink frequently. Check if the LED blinks in green when the number of accesses decreases, or if it is green when there are no accesses anymore.

!When you power on NEC Express5800/ft series and the access LEDs do not illuminate green, remount the hard disks.
