mode) signals are supplied through this connector.
LAN Connection Status
LED (Light)
There is an LED on the rear of the HP LAN card which indicates the
LAN connection status as follows:
• Off - when there is no autonegotiation response (for example, when
the LAN cable is not connected to the network HUB).
• Blinking - during autonegotiation.
• Green (ON) - the connection has passed the autonegotiation and a
link has been established between the HP LAN card and the network
HUB/Switch.
