Interpreting LED Colors and Blinking Patterns

The LEDs on the chassis provide the following status of a component:
• Steadily glowing green LEDs indicate that the component is turned on. If the green LED is blinking, it indicates a critical but
routine event, such as a firmware upload, during which the unit is not operational. It does not indicate a fault.
• A blinking amber LED on a module indicates a fault on that module.
• Blue, blinking LEDs are configurable by the user and used for identification. For more information about configuration, see
