The NIC connector on the computer’s back panel has the
following indicators:
A yellow
activity indicator
flashes when the system
is transmitting or receiving network data. (A high
volume of network traffic may make this indicator
appear to be in a steady “on” state.)
A green
link integrity indicator
lights up when there
is a good connection between the network and the
NIC. When the green indicator is off, the computer is
not detecting a physical connection to the network.
