Introducing the Connectrix DS-300B
Port side of the DS-300B
Figure 1 shows the port side of the DS-300B.
All LEDs are on the port side of the switch; the nonport side is used to 
allow the free flow of air. The DS-300B enclosure has forced-air 
cooling, with the fans pushing the air from the nonport side of the 
chassis through the enclosure, and exhausting to the port side. 
For a complete description of the locations and interpretations of 
these LEDs, refer to“Interpreting LED activity” on page 37 .
