LED Status Overview
Yellow and green LEDs can be seen through openings in the mounting bracket of the HBA. Each port has a corresponding set of yellow and green LEDs.
LEDs
Observe the light-emitting diode (LED) status for the power-on self-test (POST) results as shown in the following table.
Note:
For the Link Rate conditions, there is a 1-second pause when the LED is off between each group of fast blinks (2, 3, 4, or 5). Observe the LED sequence for several seconds to be sure you have correctly identified the pattern.| Green LED | Yellow LED | State |
