5-11 Onboard Indicators

LAN1/LAN2 LEDs

The Ethernet ports (located beside the VGA port) have two LEDs. On each Gb LAN port, one LED blinks to indicate activity while the other may be green, amber or off to indicate the speed of the connection. See the table on the right for the functions associated with the connection speed LED.

Dedicated IPMI LAN LEDs

A dedicated IPMI LAN is also included on the H8QG6/i-F serverboard. The amber LED on the right indicates activity, while the green LED on the left indicates the speed of the connection. See the table at right for more information.

Power LED

DP3 is an Onboard Power LED. When this LED is lit, it means power is present on the serverboard. Be sure to turn off the system and unplug the power cord(s) before removing or installing components.

IPMI LED

The serverboard contains an IPMI LED (DP1) located near the corner above the PCI-E slots. When this LED is lit, it means a connection is active for the built-in IPMI on the serverboard.

Note: This LED is not installed on non-IPMI boards.

UID LED (LE1)

A rear UID LED Indicator, located at LE1, works in conjunction with the rear UID switch to provide easy identification for a unit that might be in need of service. Refer to Page 5-19 for further UID details.
