LED activity
System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the Extension Switch.
The status LEDs may display solid amber or flash during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is
normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot
processes and diagnostic tests are complete.
