The LAN Activity Light

The HP Ethernet Family Adapter provides two lights to indicate status.

The LAN Activity Light is on the front panel of some HP PCs. It is used to indicate 
when the PC is accessing the LAN and is occasionally referred to as a “Virtual Hard 
Disk Activity Light”.

NOTE

To program this light signal, the line 

LED2=0x90h

 was added in all the configuration 

files on your LAN disk (for example NET.CFG and PROTOCOL.INI). If you change 
or remove this line, the LAN Activity Light will stop working.

A second kind of light is found on the back panel of your PC, one beside each of the 
UTP connectors. This light indicates the link status and it is lit when there is a valid 
connection from the interface to a hub port.
