GESA-F External Connectors, Indicators, and Cables
The GESA-F external connectors consist of one 1000 Base-SX SC duplex connector.
The GESA-C external indicators consist of:
•
Two status LEDs for the GESA-F
•
Two status LEDs for the Gigabit Ethernet port
Figure 1-2 on page 1-6 shows the position of these external connectors and indicators.
The two GESA-F status LEDs are controlled by the Service Processor (SP) and
indicate the state of the adapter:
The Gigabit Ethernet port status LEDs indicate the activity on and state of the Gigabit
Ethernet port:
