Verifying Your  Installation

 

When installation is complete and power has been applied to the hub, the following conditions 
should exist:

The Pwr (power) LED on the front panel is on.

The Link/Rx LED on each connected port is on.

The Link/Rx LED on the connected port is blinking when data is being received by that port.

The Utilization % LED on the front panel is on and shows the percentage of utilization when 
data is being received by any port on the hub.

If there are any problems, refer to Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting.”
