LEDDescription
System Status/Health LED
  • Solid green—Normal operation
  • Blinking green—Booting
  • Solid yellow (amber)—Critical system error
  • Blinking yellow—Noncritical system error, fan failure, or power supply failure
Power LED
  • Off—No power
  • Solid green—Normal operation
  • Solid yellow—POST is in process
  • Blinking yellow—Power Supply failure
Master LED
  • Off—Switch is in Stacking Slave mode
  • Solid green—Switch is in Stacking Master or Standalone mode
FAN LED
  • Off—No power
  • Solid green—Normal operation; fan powered and running at the expected RPM
  • Solid yellow—Fan failed—including incompatible airflow direction when you insert the PSU or fan trays with differing airflows
PSU LED
  • Off—No power
  • Solid green—Normal operation
  • Solid yellow—Power supply critical event causing a shutdown.
  • Blinking yellow—PSU warning event; power continues to operate
  • Blinking green, 1.0Hz—Standby mode
  • Blinking green, 0.5Hz—Ac power cord unplugged
Locator LED/System Beacon
  • Off—Locator function is disabled
  • Blinking blue—Locator function is enabled
7-Segment LED for stacking
  • Off—No power
  • Solid green—Hex digit representing the stack unit ID
RJ-45 Ethernet LED
  • Off—no link and no activity detected

LEDDescription
Link LED
  • Off—No link
  • Solid green—Link operating at a maximum speed—autonegotiated/forced or 1G port
  • Solid yellow—Link operating at a lower speed—autonegotiated/forced or 10/100M port
Activity LED
  • Off—No link
  • Flashing green—Port activity
Table 3. SFP+ and unified SFP+ port LEDs. Table listing the SFP+ and unified SFP+ port LED behavior.
LEDDescription
Link LED
  • Off—No link
  • Solid green—Link operating at maximum speed—10G port
  • Solid yellow—Link operating at a lower speed—1G port
