Interpret controller module LEDs

There are two redundant controller modules (CMs) that use a series of LEDs to reflect host connectivity status.
You can monitor the LEDs from the rear panel area to determine system status in combination with the user
interface content. You cannot mix controller types when daisy-chaining controllers.
In the case of a fault condition, identified in the state column with an asterisk (*), troubleshoot the fault and take
appropriate corrective action.
