HBA LEDs POST LED states
Table 4-1 “POST LED states” lists the HBA LED states and describes the meaning of each state.
If the LEDs indicate a failure during POST:
1. Make sure the HBA is seated firmly in the PCI slot.
2. Verify that the fiber cable connection to the HBA is secure.
3. Check the POST LED states listed in the Table 4-1 “POST LED states” to determine the HBA
status.
