QSFP+ port LED state indicators
This section describes the transceiver port LED state indicators by color and fluctuation cues. The
Link/Act
) indicates whether or not the link is established and if a transceiver is present and active.
Each 40 Gb QSFP+ port can be channelized into 4 x 10 Gb ports. To support channelization, each
QSFP+ port has four status LEDs under the port. When the QSFP+ port is not channelized, only the
LED on the left side of the port is used.

Description
Link/Act
Off
There is no transceiver present and the port is administratively
enabled.
Amber (steady)
The port is actively transmitting, but there is no link. This
indicates a local fault.
Amber (blinking)
The port received a remote fault indicator (RFI).
Green (steady)
The port has established a link.

Management port LED state indicators
The management port is on the rear of the chassis between the fans and the right-hand power
supply (PSU2). The management port is the RJ–45 jack above the console port.
The management port provides 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet connectivity and uses two bi-colored
LEDs to indicate the activity and speed of the link.
• The LED on the top of the port (
Speed
) indicates the current speed of the port.
• The LED on the bottom of the port (
Link/Act
) indicates the status of the link and whether or not
it’s active.
