LED Description
System Status/Health LED
  • Solid green—Normal operation
  • Blinking green—Booting
  • Solid yellow (amber)—Critical system error
  • Blinking yellow—Noncritical system error, fan failure, or power supply failure
Power LED
  • Off—No power
  • Solid Green—Normal operation
  • Solid yellow—POST is in process
  • Blinking yellow—Power supply failed
Master LED
  • Stacking not suported.
FAN LED
  • Off—No power
  • Solid green—Normal operation; fan powered and running at the expected RPM
  • Solid yellow—Fan failed—including incompatible airflow direction when you insert the PSU or fan trays with differing airflows
PSU LED
  • Off—No power
  • Solid green—Normal operation
  • Solid yellow—Power supply critical event causing a shutdown
  • Blinking yellow—PSU warning event; power continues to operate
  • Blinking green, 1.0Hz—Standby mode
  • Blinking green, 0.5Hz—AC power cord unplugged
LOCATOR LED/System Beacon
  • Off—Locator function disabled
  • Blinking blue—Locator function enabled
Seven-segment LED
  • Stacking not supported.
RJ-45 Ethernet LED
  • Off—no link and no activity detected
  • On—Activity on the port
  • Solid yellow—10MHz activity
  • Solid green—100MHz activiity
  • Blinking green—1GHz activity
Table 2. System management Ethernet port LEDsTable listing the system management Ethernet port LED behavior.
LED Description
Link LED
  • Off—No link
  • Solid green—Link operating at a maximum speed, autonegotiated/forced or 1G
  • Solid yellow—Link operating at a lower speed, autonegotiated/forced or 10/100M
Activity LED
  • Off—No link
  • Flashing green—Port activity

NOTE: : There are four LEDs for each QSFP28 port and a single LED for each native SFP28 port. For each port, 100GbE or 40GbE uses only one LED, 2x50GbE uses two LEDs, and 4x25GbE or 4x10GbE uses all four LEDs.

Table 3. SFP28 port LEDsTable listing the SFP28 port LED behavior.
LED Description
Link LED
  • Off—No link
  • Solid green—Link operating at maximum speed, 25G
  • Solid yellow—Link operating at a lower speed, 10G/1G
  • Flashing yellow, 1 second on/off—port beacon
Activity LED
  • Off—No link
  • Flashing green—port activity for 25G
  • Flashing yellow—Port activity for 10G/1G
Table 4. QSFP28 port LEDsTable listing the QSFP28 port LED behavior.
LED Description
Link/Activity LED—100G, 40G, or 10G
  • Off—No link
  • Solid green—Link operating at maximum speed, 100G for QSFP28 port
  • Flashing green—Port activity operating at maximum speed, 100G for QSFP28 ports
  • Solid yellow—Port activity operating at a lower speed, 40G or 10G port
  • Flashing yellow, 1 second on/off—Port beacon
Link/Activity LED—4x25G mode or 4x10G mode
  • Off—No link
  • Solid green—Link operating at maximum speed, 4x25G port
  • Flashing green—Link activity operating at maximum speed, 4x25G port
  • Solid yellow—Link operating at a lower speed, 4x10G port
  • Flashing yellow, 1 second on/off—Port beacon
Link/Activity LED—2x50G mode
  • Off—No link
  • Solid yellow—Link operating at a lower speed, 2x50G port
  • Flashing yellow—Port activity at a lower speed, 2x50G port
  • Flashing yellow, 1 second on/off—Port beacon
