An operational Host and Target cards will have the following LEDs illuminated.    
 

1.

 

Bracket LEDs : LINK Status 

2.

 

Board LEDs: Power, Card Edge Reset and Cable Reset

LED Definition 

PWR – Board has power 
CBL – Signal detect on cable* 
EDGE – Signal detect on card edge* 

 

*Signal detect does not mean it has a link, but rather it identifies there is a signal on the card edge.  If the link does not appear to be stable, it 
could mean that there is a compliance pattern being generated by the PCIe device interfacing with this card. 

 
 

4.2 

LED Indicator Scenarios 

 
When the “Force Power ON header / connector” is jumpered and ATX power supply is attached (power is available) into the expansion board or 
chassis, the following LEDs on boards and bracket are illuminated.  In this setup, the host is not powered UP or the host is not connected to the 
target. 

Bracket LED: 1 is lit as solid green 

Board LEDs:   

 

PWR= Solid Green 

 

RST = Solid Red 

 

CRST = Solid Red 

 

0 and 1 = Solid Green
