After inserting a cable into a port, the Yellow or Green LED0 indicator will light when the
physical connection is established (that is, when the unit is powered on and a cable is plugged
into the port with the other end of the connector plugged into a functioning port). SeeAdapter
Card LED Operations.
After plugging in a cable, lock the connector using the latching mechanism particular to the
cable vendor. When a logical connection is made, Green LED1 will light. When data is being
transferred, Green LED1 will blink.
Care should be taken as not to impede the air exhaust flow through the ventilation holes. Use
cable lengths which allow for routing horizontally around to the side of the chassis before
bending upward or downward in the rack.
To remove a cable, disengage the locks and slowly pull the connector away from the port
receptacle. LED indicator will turn off when the cable is unseated.
