Chapter 2 Controls, Ports and Indicators NIC Indicators The embedded NIC (Network Interface Card) has two LEDs associated with it, which can only be seen from the rear of the HP NetServer. See Figure 2-7 and Table 2-6. Link/Activity LED Transfer Rate LED Figure 2-7. NIC LEDs Table 2-6. NIC LED Code Indicator Definition Link/Activity LED 10/100 Mbps LED This LED turns solid green to indicate that it is linked and properly connected. The green LED blinks to indicate the embedded NIC (network adapter) is active and transferring data to/from the NIC. The rate of blinking varies directly with network traffic. This yellow LED turns on to indicate when the NIC is supporting transfers of 100 Mbps (million bits per second). When it is off, the NIC is supporting transfers of 10 Mbps. 17
