System description

PC Card slot

This slot (designated as Slot A:) accepts a Type I or II PC Card. It also
supports a DCHIP interface PC Card (D-Chip) to the system through the
NTMF29Bx cable.

Ethernet activity LEDs

The LEDs indicate 100BaseT, 10BaseT, and activity on both the ELAN
and TLAN network interfaces.

Maintenance display

The maintenance display is a 4-character LED-based dot-matrix display. It
displays the IP trunk card boot sequence and displays the card role as
follows:

LDR = Active Leader

A properly-functioning IP trunk card displays one of the above codes. If an
IP trunk card encounters a problem, a fault code is displayed. For more
