Hardware Overview Introduction
Switch Fabric LEDs
The RS 8600 Switching Fabric module uses the following LEDs.
2.4.8 RS 8000/8600 Line Cards
The following section lists the line cards available for the RS 8000/8600. The line cards are equipped with 4 MB, 16
MB, or 32MB of RAM, and support a wide range of protocols and interfaces.
10/100Base-TX 8-Port Line Card
The 10/100Base-TX line card contains eight independent Ethernet ports. Each port senses whether it is connected to a
10-Mbps segment or a 100-Mbps segment and automatically configures itself as a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX port.
Figure 2-9 shows the front panel of the 10/100Base-TX line card.

LED Description
Offline When lit, this amber LED indicates that the module is offline (powered
off) and is ready for hot swap.
The Offline LED also is lit briefly during a reboot or reset of the RS
and goes out as soon as the Control Module discovers and properly
initializes the switching fabric module.
Online When lit, this green LED indicates that the module is online and is
ready to receive, process, and send packets if configured to do so.
Active When lit, this LED indicates that the switching fabric module is
actively receiving, processing, and sending packets.
