NIC LED behaviors
The faceplate on the 10/100/1000BASE-T NIC provides an RJ-45 connector for connecting the NIC to
another network device.
The NIC has four LEDs, one for each port speed option (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps), and one for
ACT (activity). The three port speed LEDs indicate active links, and the ACT LED indicates data transfer
status. After the NIC is installed and the cables are connected properly, the appropriate speed LED is lit
and the ACT LED is on if data traffic is present. The following table describes the LED states:
