The System LED flashes green, and the RPS LED turns off. As each test runs, the
port LEDs, starting with number 1, turn off. The port LEDs for ports 2 to 8 each
turn off in turn as the system completes a test.
When POST completes successfully, the port LEDs return to the status mode
display, indicating that the switch is operational. If a test fails, the port LED
associated with the test turns amber, and the system LED turns amber. If POST
