LED

Description

NIC 1 Activity LED NIC 2 Activity LED

A continuous green light indicates a link between the system and the network to which it is connected. A blinking green light indicates network activity.

Power/Sleep LED

A continuous green light indicates the system has power applied to it. A blinking green lighta indicates the system is sleeping. No light indicates the system does not have power applied to it (other than 5 V standby power).

a. The power LED sleep indication is maintained on standby by the chipse t. If the system is turned off without going thr ough the BIOS, the LED state in effect at the time

the power turned off will be res tored when the system is turned on u n ti l th e BIOS clears it. If the system is not tu rn ed of f normally, it is possible that the power LED will be blinking at the same time that the syst em sta tus LE D is off due to a failu re or configuration change that prevents the B IO S from r unni ng.

Hard Disk Drive Status LED

A random blinking green light indicates hard disk drive activity (SCSI or IDE). A continuous amber light indicates hard disk drive fault (SCSI or IDE). No light

indicates no hard disk drive activity nor fault (SCSI or

IDE).

b. This light is al s o o ff when the system is turned off or in a sleep state.
