Chapter 1 Product Overview
Front Panel
PoE Status LED
The PoE STATUS LED is located on the front panel of the IE 2000 switch models that are equipped with
PoE ports.The LED displays the functionality and status of the PoE ports. The LED colors and meanings
are listed in Table 1-10.
Flash Memory Card
The switch supports a flash memory card that makes it possible to replace a failed switch without
reconfiguring the new switch. The slot for the flash memory card is on the front of the switch. See
Figure 1-10.
The flash card is hot swappable and can be accessed on the front panel. A cover protects the flash card
and holds the card firmly in place. The cover is hinged and closed with a captive screw. This prevents
the card from coming loose and protects against shock and vibration.
Note For more information on inserting and removing the flash memory card, see the “Installing or Removing
the Flash Memory Card (Optional)” section on page 2-7.
Table 1-10 PoE Status LED Colors and Meanings
Color PoE Status
Off PoE is off. If the powered device is receiving power from a non-PoE power source,
the port LED is off even if the powered device is connected to the switch port.
Green PoE is on. The port LED is green only when the PoE port is providing power.
Alternating green
and amber
PoE is denied because providing power to the powered device will exceed the switch
power capacity.
Flashing amber PoE is off due to a fault.
Caution Noncompliant cabling or powered devices can cause a PoE port fault. Use
only standard-compliant cabling to connect Cisco prestandard IP Phones
and wireless access points or IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices. You must
remove any cable or device that causes a PoE fault.
Amber PoE for the port is disabled. (PoE is enabled by default.)
