LAN1/2 LEDs

The Ethernet ports have two LEDs. On each port, one LED indicates activity while the other LED may be green, amber or off to indicate the speed of the connec- tion. See the table on the right for the functions associated with the connection speed LED.

Note: the dedicated IPMI LAN does not operate at 1 Gb/s.

Onboard Power LED (LE1)

An Onboard Power LED is located at LE1. This LED Indicator is on when the system is on. Be sure to unplug the AC power cord before removing or adding any components. See the table on the right for more details.

BMC Activity LED (LE2)

A BMC Heartbeat LED is located at LE2. When LE2 is on, BMC (Baseboard Man- agement Controller) is active.

Rear UID LED (LED4)

The UID LED is used to help locate the server for servicing. See the description of SW1 in Section 5-9 for more details.
