Power Up and LEDs
Octopus 832 or Octopus 1664
There are three groups of LEDs on the front panel of your Octopus. Each green LED
in the left group corresponds to a server port. Each
LED illuminates when the
system or cascaded Octopus unit is attached and powered up.
The amber and green LEDs in the center group indicate the status of your LAN
connection.
When a valid IP connection is made to the network port of the Octopus
unit, the green
LINK
LED blinks. The amber
100M
LED indicates the speed of the
attached LAN. This LED illuminates when a 100M connection is made or remains
unlit when a 10M connection is made.
The green power (
PWR
) LED in the center group illuminates when the Octopus unit
is powered and will blink only during a FLASH upgrade.
Figure 4-1. Octopus Unit
Additional green LEDs in the right group correspond to each user
port and
illuminate when the Octopus 1664 or cascaded Octopus unit is attached and powered
up. Additional green LEDs in the right group correspond to each user port and
illuminate when the Octopus or cascaded Octopus unit is attached and powered up.
Octopus user station
There are two blue LEDs on the Octopus user station. The top LED indicates the
power status and the lower LED flashes when the OSD is active.
Octopus SAM
The Octopus SAM features only one green LED. This indicator shows that the
attached computer is powered and a valid UTP connection has been made to an
Octopus unit. This LED blinks if a fault has been detected.
