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.

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.
