page 55 describes the different LED states and what those states indicate.

Table 11. Adapter LEDs and descriptions

LED Light Description

Speed Yellow 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps

Green 1000 Mbps or 1 Gbps

Activity/link Green flashing Active link or data activity

The absence of a link can indicate a defective cable,

defective connector, or a conguration mismatch.

Operating system or partition requirements
