2.5 Viewing the LEDs

You can view the green and yellow LEDs through openings in a stand-up HBA's mounting bracket. The yellow LED indicates
port activity or link speed, and the green LED indicates firmware operation. Each port has a corresponding set of yellow and
green LEDs.
Figure 10: Optical HBA LED Indicators
The following table summarizes POST conditions and results:
NOTE: For the link rate conditions, a 1s pause occurs when the yellow LED is off between each group of fast blinks (2, 3,
4, or 5, depending on the HBA). Observe the LED sequence for several seconds to be sure you have correctly
identified the pattern.
