Understanding the Lights and LEDs

The Power light is green when the power is on; if it is flashing, there is a
hardware failure and you should contact Bay Networks.

The Reset light is green, and when it flashes the Switch is either reading or
writing to the disk. You can press the Reset button to restart the Switch,
however, Bay Networks recommends that you restart the Switch from the
System Shutdown display (refer to the Administrator's Guide for details).

Power on the Switch and confirm that the interfaces are cabled properly by
examining the two LEDs located adjacent to the RJ-45 connector of the LAN
port, or the LEDs located on the card panel.

Figure 5 shows the LAN Port LEDs and Figure 6 shows the PCI card
10/100BASE-TX LAN LEDs. Look at the condition of the LEDs, then examine
the corresponding LED tables to better understand the indications.
