The front panel contains the following components:
LEDs display the status of the pass-thru module and the network:

OK (indicating that the switch module has passed the power-on self-test (POST) with no critical

faults and is operational)
Pass-thru module error (indicating that the switch module has failed the POST or detected an

operational fault).
14 SFP+ port connectors to attach SFP+ modules.

Each external SFP+ port on the pass-thru module contains an link status LED - the port number

associated with each LED is indicated in Figures 4 and 5.
