Configuring Built-In PCI Networking
PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000
Appendix D 209
The Link Status LED is for the RJ-45 connector only. The link LED is lit
only when the RJ-45 connector on the card is connected properly to a
10/100 Mbit/s switch or hub.When the RJ-45 cable connection is used,
the link LED must be lit to indicate proper functioning. If there is no
RJ-45 cable connection, or if the cable connection is bad, or if the hub or
switch is not compatible, that is, not 10Base-T or 100Base-TX capable, no
LEDS will be lit. Also, a message indicating the detection of a bad cable
connection is printed on the console as well as logged in NETTL logs.
The Link LED functions as follows:
• LED solid green = link established in 100Base-TX mode.
• LED solid yellow = link established in 10Base-T mode.
• LED remains dark in 10Base2 (BNC) or 10Base5 (AUI) mode. The
Status LED is dark if the AUI or BNC port is used.
The Activity LED flashes whenever the switch is sending link pulses. If
the activity LED on the card is not blinking, then there may be a problem
with the driver or the card. Contact HP.
NOTE The RJ-45 connection operates at either 10 or 100 Mbits/s, but the BNC
and AUI connections operate only at 10 Mbits/s.
