NIC LED behaviors
The faceplate on the 10/100/1000BASE-T NIC provides an RJ-45 connector for connecting the NIC to
another network device.
Figure 4 NIC faceplate
The NIC has two LEDs, one indicates port speed (10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, and 1000 Mb/s), and one indicates
ACT (activity). The port speed LED indicates active links, and the ACT LED indicates data transfer
status. After the NIC is installed and the cables are connected properly, the speed LED is lit and the
ACT LED is on if data traffic is present.
