The SBx LINECARD STATUS LEDs display general status information 
about the Ethernet line cards and controller cards. There are twelve LEDs, 
numbered 1 to 12. Only LEDs 1 to 6 are used. They correspond to slots 1 
to 6 in the AT-SBx8106 Chassis. LEDs 7 to 12 are not used. If the chassis 
has two controller cards, the SBx Status LEDs are active on both cards. 
The LEDs are defined in Table 11.

1 to 12

Solid Green

Indicates that the Ethernet line or controller 
card is operating normally.

Flashing Green

Indicates that the card is booting up, 
running in test mode, or loading its 
configuration settings.

Solid Amber

Indicates that the card is in an off-line state. 
Possible causes are:



An Ethernet line card that displays this 
LED state may have encountered a 
problem initializing the management 
software.



An Ethernet line card that displays this 
LED state might not be able to boot up 
because the controller card does not 
have the appropriate load file and 
needs to be updated to the most recent 
release of the management software.



A standby master controller card that 
displays this LED state may have been 
disabled by the active master controller 
card because the cards have 
incompatible versions of the 
management software and were unable 
to resolve the problem, possibly 
because of insufficient free flash 
memory.

You may remove a line or controller card 
from the chassis when it is in this state.

Flashing Amber

Indicates that the card is reporting a fault 
condition. Use the management commands 
to determine the specific problem.
