Embedded module LEDs
Use the fault LEDs to identify the faulted part.
| LED | Location | State | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unsafe to remove |  | White | Do not remove the node. Improper removal could cause data loss. |
| Off | Safe to remove the embedded module when the embedded module has been properly prepared. | ||
| Node power |  | Green | Node is on (main power). |
| Green blinking | Node is initializing a serial over LAN session. | ||
| Off | Node is off. | ||
| Node fault |  | Amber | Fault has occurred. |
| Blue | Node in Degraded Mode. | ||
| Amber or blue blinking | The system is booting. | ||
| Blue and amber alternating (green for 3 seconds) | System not initialized. A management IP address has not been assigned. | ||
| Blue and amber alternating at one second intervals | Node in Service Mode. | ||
| Off | No fault has occurred, normal operation. | ||
| 4-port card port link |  | Green | Link up with high speed. |
| Amber | Link up with degraded speed. | ||
| Off | Link down. | ||
| Ethernet port activity |  | Amber blinking | Port activity. |
| Off | No port activity. | ||
| Ethernet port link |  | Green | Link established. |
| Off | No link established. | ||
| 2-port card port link |  | Green | Link up with high speed. |
| Amber | Link up with degraded speed. | ||
| Off | Link down. | ||
| Embedded module fault |  | Amber | Embedded module has faulted. |
| Off | No fault has occurred, normal operation. |
