Checking LEDs
Immediately after you have installed a Model 5625HD switch module, watch the
LEDs on the front panel. If the board is installed and functioning properly, the
following LED color sequence occurs:
• The annunciator lights amber and then lights green.
• The Port Status LEDs light green or amber for each port showing link status
or port management disabled status.
• Each Port Speed LED lights green when you have a 100 Mb/s Ethernet
connection and is off when you have a 10 Mb/s connection.
See Appendix C, “LEDs,” for the LED definitions.
Making 10/100 Mb/s Connections
The 10/100 Mb/s jacks on the Model 5625HD switch module accept standard
UTP or STP cable connections.
To connect network devices to the 10/100 Mb/s ports on the Model 5625HD
switch module, follow these guidelines:
• Use Category 3 or 5 UTP or STP cable with RJ-45 connectors for the ports on
the Model 5625HD switch module.
• Use straight-through cables to connect the network interface card (NIC) in a
PC workstation orserver. These devices typically have MDI connectors.
• Use a crossover cable to connect to ports configured as MDI-X (such as
Ethernet hubs).

see Appendix B, “Cables and Connectors.”
