Hardware Check 

9.1 

Verify Board LEDs 

 
Check the Target SLOT LED, when a PCIe card is installed in the target slot, the LED will illuminate as solid green. 
 

 

 
 
A fully operational back plane will illuminate the following LEDs.  Check LEDs D19, D18 and D16, make sure they are correctly illuminated.   

 

D19- Blinking  green (LED 1). This will blink 8 times, then will pause for 2 seconds and blink 8 times again.  

 

D18-Solid green(LED 0).  

 

D16- AUX power, solid green.
