AUDIO STATUS LEDS

Four LEDs located on the lower end of the module (near the card extractor) indicate which audio channels
are present. Audio channel 1 LED is located closest to the center of the module. Digital audio presence is
determined by the AES receiver lock indicator (when AES input is selected). When embedded audio is
selected, the channel must be present on the selected group for the LED to illuminate.
