Other indicators that are located on the backplane are the LEDs that identify the type of card that is inserted into a slot. This is in regards to the
number of lanes and speed that the card possesses. As shown below, the LEDs are located at the bottom of each individual slot.
When will the lit LED remain consistent is dependent on whether the inserted card is using the maximum capability of the backplane’s PCIe slot.
For example, if the card features a x16 bandwidth and is operating at a Gen 2 speed, once the card is plugged into a x16 slot the lit LED will
remain consistent. Otherwise, the card is not using the full potential of the slot’s capability and the bottom indicator would blink.
The card would still be operational through the backplane,
but
in any case, the 3
rd
party card that is operating at Gen 1 and/or contains less
transmit/receive data lanes than the slot that it is placed in, the locator LED will blink.
