Tip: The FLT, ST, and ACT LED indicators are duplicated on the upper left of the PIM in the rear of the Pillar Axiom 600 system. If the Slammer halts during startup, the three LEDs on the back of the chassis (FLT, ACT, and ST) or the three LEDs on the bezel (Status, Activity, and Fault) help you identify where the Slammer halted in the startup sequence.
Appendix C Slammer LED Startup Progress Codes About Slammer LED Codes The Slammer bezel has Fault, Status, and Activity LEDs that can display various colors and blink rates. These LEDs also appear on the private interface module at the back of the Slammer chassis, and are labeled FLT (Fault), ACT (Activity), and ST (Status).
