Installing the Module

7.
Check the port LEDs for the newly-installed module to ensure that the
port(s) connected in the preceding step are operating correctly. Each port
on the switch modules has Link and Mode LEDs near it as shown in the
next illustration.
Example Link and Mode LEDs
Link and Mode LEDs
•
The Link LED will be lit for each port that is connected properly to
an active network device.
If the Link LED does not go on when an active network cable is
connected to the port, there may be something wrong with the cable,
the cable connectors, or the device at the other end of the cable. See
the troubleshooting information on page 18.
•
If the switch Mode is set to display activity (the
LED is lit), then the Mode LED for each port that is transmitting and/
or receiving packets will flicker when traffic is detected on the port.
•
If the Mode is set to display full duplex (the
is lit), then the Mode LED will be lit for each port that is operating in
full duplex.
•
If the Mode is set to display 100 Mbps operation (the
indicator LED is lit), then the Mode LED will be lit for each port that
is operating at 100 Mbps. Note that for ports operating at 1000 Mbps
(Gigabit), the Mode LED will not be lit.
8.
Customize the port configuration, if necessary. (See "Customizing the Port
Configuration" on page 15.)
9.
Reset the switch, if you have installed a module in place of a different type
of module. (See "Resetting the Switch" on page 17 for more information
on when the switch must be reset.)
