I/O and Fabric Module LED Behavior--BlackDiamond X8 Switch

The following table describes the BlackDiamond X8 switch I/O and fabric module LED behavior during a diagnostic test.

After the I/O or Fabric module completes the diagnostic test, or the diagnostic test is terminated, the DIAG and the Status LEDs are reset. During normal operation, the DIAG LED is off and the Status LED blinks green.

BlackDiamond X8 Series Switch I/O and Fabric Module LED Behavior

LED	Color	Indicates
DIAG	Amber blinking	Diagnostic test in progress
	Amber	Diagnostic failure has occurred
Status	Amber blinking	Configuration error, code version error, or other severe module error
	Green blinking	Normal operation
