Appendix A Indicators

Indicators on the Switch Panel

Different switch models have different indicators on their panels. This section describes indicators on the S5700-LI supporting a single power module and the S5700-SI supporting double power modules. For the states and meanings of other indicators on other switch models, see "Indicator Description" in the Hardware Description.
