Port side of the switch

Figure 1 shows the port side of the switch. All LEDs are on the port side of the
switch: the nonport side is used to allow the free flow of air. The switch enclosure
has forced-air cooling, with the fans pushing the air from the nonport side of the
chassis through the enclosure, exhausting to the port side. For a complete
description of the locations and interpretations of these LEDs, see "Interpreting
LED activity" on page 21.
