LED Placement and Function
The Intel
•
One surface-mounted SXP_ACTIVE ("DS3B1") LED (Green Color) to indicate
activity of the internal Sxp port operating in any of the supported protocol modes.
•
Another surface-mounted EXP_ACTIVE ("DS3B2") LED (Green Color) to indicate
activity on the internal SMP or SSP target ports which advertise the Expander's
WWN address.
