LED activity interpretation
System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch.
There are three possible LED states: off (no light), a steady light, and a flashing light. Flashing lights
may be slow, fast, or flickering. The LED colors are either green or amber. See
Table 3 on page 23
and Table 4 on page 25 for details on LED behavior.
Sometimes, the LEDs flash either of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is
normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot
processes and diagnostic tests are complete.
