Replacing an Ethernet Expansion Blade

The status LEDs on the Ethernet Expansion blade should be as follows: The 

blue LED should blink once every 10 seconds, indicating the blade is 

powered on. The green LED should blink once per second, indicating the 

blade’s processor is working normally. The amber LED should be off. If the 

LEDs are not blinking properly, reseat the blade.

Caution:

Be sure the cover plate is installed over the empty bay to the 

right of the Ethernet Expansion blade. If the cover plate next to 

an Ethernet Expansion blade is not installed, Ethernet 

Expansion blade temperature errors will occur.

Reconnect the cables in the same position as with the blade you just 

removed.

6

Verify that the Ethernet Expansion blade is in the “Ready” state using one of 

the following methods:

• Check the LEDs on the Ethernet Expansion blade. 

The green LED should blink once per second, the blue LED should blink 

once every 10 seconds, and the amber LED should be off.
