Chapter 1 Overview
PA-8E LEDs
PA-8E LEDs
The PA-8E has one status LED for each port, and an ENABLED LED, standard on all port adapters.
After system initialization, the ENABLE LED lights to indicate that the PA-8E has been enabled for
operation. The LEDs are shown in Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2 PA-8E LEDs—Horizontal Orientation
The following conditions must be met before the ENABLED LED lights:
• PA-8E is correctly connected and receiving power.
• A valid microcode version has been downloaded successfully.
• The bus recognizes the PA-8E or PA-8E-equipped VIP or Catalyst RSM/VIP2.
If any of these conditions is not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the ENABLED LED
does not light. When an RJ-45 port is active, its link LED lights when the PA-8E receives a carrier signal
from the network.
Table 1-3 lists LED colors and indications.
