System status LEDs

The chassis of the BCM450 contains two LEDs: a Status LED and a Power LED. The Power LED is located at the bottom left of the chassis; the Status LED is immediately above it. The table System status LEDs states and descriptions on page 20 describes the meaning of the system status LEDs in the following situations:

start-up sequence: LED indicators during the normal start-up process

safe-mode start-up sequence: LED indicators during a safe-mode start-up

shutdown sequence: LED indictors during a shutdown or failure

start-up profile sequence: LED indicators during an initial installation or staging
