Dell Precision 410 Mini Tower Systems User’s Guide
The NIC connector on the computer’s back panel (see Figure 5-1) 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 or the power source to the
computer has been shut off.
