Section 5 : Operation
This section describes details that are associated with the basic operation and configuration options for
the VP3500.
5.1 : LEDs / Indicators
The VP3500 incorporates several LED indicators that provide real-time status for Power OK, PCIe link,
Ethernet link and activity and MiniPCIe card activity. All LEDs are located on the bottom side of the PCB
near the front panel with the exception of the MiniPCIe LEDs, which are located next to the MiniPCIe
adapter module connector on the top side near the front panel.
The Figure below illustrates a front view of the VP3500 with the LEDs on the bottom side of the board.
