Verifying the Installation
To verify the HBA is properly installed and is operating:
1. Turn on the computer.
2. At power up, observe the POST LED indicators on the HBA. The position of
the POST LED indicators is defined in page 15 on page 15, and Table 2 on
page 22 of this guide. The green LED indicates power functions and the
amber LED signifies port activity. The amber LED blinks at all times during
normal operation.
Table 3 lists normal LED indications.
