Note Use a ballpoint pen tip or other small, pointed object to access the RESET button.
CONSOLE Port
The CONSOLE port allows you to access the switch either locally (with a console
terminal) or remotely (with a modem). The CONSOLE port is an EIA/TIA-232
asynchronous, serial connection with hardware flow control and an RJ-45
connector.
SWITCH
LOAD
If the switch is operational, the switch load meter indicates (as an
approximate percentage) the current traffic load over the backplane.
PCMCIA The PCMCIA LED is lit when no Flash PC card is in the slot, and it goes
off when you insert a Flash PC card.
LINK Green The port is operational.
Orange The link has been disabled by software.
Flashing
orange
The link is bad and has been disabled due to a hardware failure.

1. The SYSTEM and PWR MGMT LED indications on a redundant supervisor engine are synchronized to the active supervisor
engine.
2. VTT = voltage termination module. The VTT module terminates signals on the Catalyst switching bus.
3. If no redundant supervisor engine is installed and there is a VTT module minor or major overtemperature condition, the
system shuts down.
