LED Indicators
During normal operation, the Tx1 - Tx4 and Rx1 - Rx4 LEDs indicate status 
of the adjacent transceiver.
If the 10G/25G QSFP modules are plugged into QSFP port 1, the Tx1/Rx1 
LEDs indicate the following:
• Off – QSFP is not plugged in or recognized
• Amber – Tx (or Rx) is set for 10G
• Green – Tx (or Rx) is set for 25G
• Red – no connection
• Amber or green blinking: packets are being received (Rx) or transmitted 
(Tx) at the specified bit rate.
If an M-plane connector is plugged into QSFP port 3, Tx and Rx will only be 
Green, but indicating a speed of 1Gbps, which is the only speed that the 
M-plane connector supports.
Table 11 indicates the LED state for each Tx and Rx.
