FDDI/Q media cards
The FDDI/Q media card provides four full-duplex interfaces. Figure 5-6 shows a FDDI/Q
faceplate.

LEDs
Each interface has a pair of LEDs that show the type of connection (OP) and traffic activity
(TRX) at that interface. Refer to Figure 5-7.

Certain LEDs on the FDDI/Q media card can be either amber or green depending upon the
type of information they convey at the time. Table 5-6 describes FDDI/Q card LEDs.

Description
PWR ON
This green LED is on when GRF power is on.
STAT 0
STAT 1
The amber / green Status LEDs at the top of each FDDI/Q media card are
amber during self-test. When self test completes, the LEDs turn green.
The Status LEDs alternate amber during power-on/dumping, and alternate
green during power-on/loading.
When status is normal:
- the green 0 LED on the left blinks ten times a second
- the green 1 LED on the right blinks once a second
FDDI/Q Status LEDs do not blink error codes.
