Troubleshooting

1. Make sure the board is securely seated in the slot.

2. Observe the LED’s. Each port on the ZX478 has a LINK (green) LED and an ACTIVITY

(amber) LED. The green LED illuminates upon successfully establishing a link. The amber

LED illuminates during transmit/receive activity. Note: In most cases, the driver must be

properly loaded and configured to bring up the link. It is off if there is no link established.

Each ZX478 also has LED's for Power, Operational, Internal and External fault indicators.

The status LED is duplicated on both the front and rear panels. The front panel also
includes an LED indicating continuity with the Rear-Transition Module. The front panel

also includes the industry-standard blue LED next to the bottom Hot-Swap ejector tab. The

LED's are defined by the following table:

Label Color

power.

Operational

ON indicates driver loaded and

board has passed internal tests.

Rear Panel

port, or another connectivity

problem external to the adapter.

3. Refer to operating system specific documentation to evaluate any error messages or logs

when the driver is loaded.
