Mobile Controller status lights and ports
This section describes the status lights and ports for the Mobile Controller 8650 and 9000.
Console port connections
Depending on your model, the Console port is either a DB9F or an RJ45 port. The model 8650 uses the DB9F port, and the model 9000 uses the RJ45 port.
The appropriate console cable ships with your model.

Mobile Controller 8650 status lights and port locations
The following figures show the Mobile Controller 8650 status light and port locations on the front and back panels.
Figure: Front panel
Figure: Back Panel
This table summarizes the system lights.
Light
Function
System
Healthy = Blue
Degraded = Yellow
Critical = Red
System boot = Yellow
Front LAN/WAN lights (network status)
Link = Solid blue
Activity = Blinking blue
BYP/BLK
(bypass or block [disconnect] mode)
Normal = No light
Bypass or Block (Disconnect) = Orange
HDD lights
Disk connected = Solid blue
Read/Write activity = Blinking blue
Failed disk = Orange
LAN/WAN lights
Left LED
Link = Solid green
Activity = Blinking green
Right LED
GB = Orange
100 MB = Green
10 MB = No light
Power supply lights
Solid green = Healthy power supply with AC power connected.
Blinking green = Unit is halted, but the power supplies are still connected to AC power.
Solid orange = AC power is not connected to this power supply, but the unit is still powered on by the alternate power supply. The solid orange light might indicate that the AC power has shut off automatically due to a trouble condition, such as an overheat.
Blinking orange = Indicates a power supply predictive-fail condition, such as a fan failure. The power supply might then shut itself off, which changes the LED to solid orange. You can view a log entry of this predictive-fail using the show hardware error-log all command in the command-line interface.
No light = No AC power connected.
