LED                       Description 
Power 
This LED will light green after powering the Switch on to indicate the ready state of the 
device. The indicator is dark when the Switch is no longer receiving power (i.e powered 
off). 
Console 
This LED will blink green during the Power-On Self Test (POST). When the POST is 
finished, the LED goes dark. The indicator will light steady green when an active console 
link is in session via RS-232 console port. 
RPS 
This LED will light when the internal power has failed and the RPS has taken over the 
power supply to the Switch. Otherwise, it will remain dark. 
Port LEDs 
One row of LEDs for each port is located above the ports on the front panel. The indicator 
above the left side of a port corresponds to the port below the indicator in the upper row 
of ports. The indicator above the right side of a port corresponds to the port below the 
indicator in the lower row of ports. A steady green light denotes a valid 1000Mbps link on 
the port while a blinking green light indicates activity on the port (at 1000Mbps). A steady 
orange light denotes a valid 10 or 100Mbps link on the port while a blinking orange light 
indicates activity on the port (at 100Mbps). These LEDs will remain dark if there is no link 
on the port. 
10GE Ports 
A steady green light denotes a valid link on the port while a blinking green light indicates 
activity on the port. These LEDs will remain dark if there is no link on the port. 
Combo SFP Ports 
LED indicators for the Combo ports are located above the ports and numbered 1 – 4 for 
Combo 1, Combo 2, etc. ports. A steady green light denotes a valid link on the port while 
a blinking green light indicates activity on the port. These LEDs will remain dark if there is 
no link on the port. 
Stack ID 
These two seven segment LEDs display the current switch stack order of the Switch while 
in use. 
Link/Act/Speed and PoE 
(DGS-3426P only) 
To change the LED mode from Link/Act/Speed to PoE  and vice versa, press the LED 
Mode Select Button. The Link/Act/Speed LED will light solid green when selected and will 
shut off when PoE is selected. Likewise, when Link/Act/Speed is selected, the PoE LED 
shuts off and the Link/Act/Speed LED lights solid green.
