After initial power-up, all the ports should have their Link Status and Link Speed LEDs showing as off.

After network settings are configured and tested using either the Maglev Configuration wizard (see Configure the primary node using the Maglev wizard and Configure add-on nodes using the Maglev wizard) or browser-based configuration wizard (see Configure the primary node using the Advanced Install configuration wizard and Configure a secondary node using the Advanced Install configuration wizard), the Link Status and Link Speed LEDs for all cabled ports should be green. The LED for all uncabled ports should remain unchanged.
