9-Port 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 Switching Module Quick Start Guide

Verifying Module

Operation

The 9-port GEN Layer 2 Switching Module has one Module Status LED
and nine Port Status LEDs on its front panel.

Watch the LEDs during the system power-on diagnostic test to verify
proper module operation:

On the Module Status LED, the normal power-on diagnostic test
sequence is Green – Yellow – Green – Flashing Green (while running
the diagnostic test) – Green

If the Module Status LED is yellow after the diagnostics run, the module
has failed.

The Port Status LEDs are tested during the diagnostic test. The normal
test sequence is Yellow – Green – Off.

Table 6 describes the LED colors and states.
