Understanding LED behavior
This section describes the LED behavior of the BIG-IP software, version 9.0
and later, on BIG-IP 1000, 2400, and 5100 platforms and the BIG-IP 1500,
3400, 6400, and 6800 platforms
Important
Installing BIG-IP version 9.0 on the 1000, 2400, and 5100 platforms
changes the way the front-panel LEDs work on these systems. The LEDs do
not function in the manner described in the BIG-IP version 4.x
documentation. After you install BIG-IP version 9.0, these systems will
function in the manner described in this document.
LED indicator functions
There are four types of LED indicators on the faceplate of each unit. Each
LED indicator serves a specific function. The LED indicator functions are
