Appendix A
X Mode LED Displays for Slot 
Numbers
This appendix depicts the channel LED displays when an APCC operates in X 
mode.
When a card is configured in X mode, the front-panel channel LEDs display one of 
the patterns shown in the figure below. Match the pattern of the front-panel 
channel LEDs to a pattern in the figure. Use the corresponding value found under 
the heading Address as the slot-number portion of the Card ID. (Refer to 
Examples 
after the figure.)
