eco-friendly
Button
You use the eco-friendly button on the controller card to turn the LEDs on
or off and test the LEDs. You may turn off the LEDs when you are not
using them to monitor the control and Ethernet line cards, to conserve
electricity. When the LEDs are off, the overall power consumption of the
chassis is slightly reduced, approximately 3 watts in a system with 240
active copper ports.
The button controls all the port LEDs on the Ethernet line cards and the
LEDs on the controller card, except for the M/S (Master/Slave) LED, which
is always on. The button does not control the LEDs on the fan module and
the power supply systems.
The eco-friendly button is also used to test the LEDs. The LEDs perform a
lamp test, flashing in alternating colors for three seconds, when you press
the button.
Table 13. SBx STATUS LEDs
LEDs State Description
0 to 11
Solid Green The Ethernet line or controller card is
operating normally.

mode, or loading the configuration settings.
0 to 11
Solid Amber Indicates that the card is in an off-line,
reset, or disabled state. You may remove
the card from the chassis when it is in this
state. If the LED is solid amber for an
Ethernet line card, it may indicate that the
card cannot boot up because the controller
card does not have the appropriate load file
and needs to be updated to the most recent
release of management software.
Flashing Amber Indicates that the card is reporting a fault
condition. Use the management commands
to determine the specific problem.
Off This LED state can result from the following
conditions:
 The slot is empty.
 The LEDs are turned off. To turn on
the LEDs, use the eco-friendly
button.
LEDs 6 to 11 are not used and are always
off.
