Switches
■ When the download of code to the modules is completed, the module
LEDs go off. You may see each port LED go on briefly, in sequence, as the
port is tested.
■ For the duration of the self test, the Test LED stays on.
When the test completes successfully:
■ The Power LED stays on, and the Status LEDs on the switch chassis stay
on for the devices installed: one for each switch module installed, one for
each power supply installed, and one for all the fans.
■ The Fault, Locator, and Test LEDs are off.
■ The port LEDs on the switch modules go into their normal operational
mode:
• If the ports are connected to active network devices, the Link LEDs
stay on and the Mode LEDs behave according to the mode selected.
In the default mode (Activity), the Mode LEDs should flicker showing
network activity on the port.
• If the ports are not connected to active network devices, the LEDs
will stay off.
