Table 1 describes the LEDs , their color and states, and the status they indicate.

**Table 1: Chassis Status LEDs in a vEdge 100b Router**
LED	Color	Status
Power	Green/Red	Off: System is not on Green: System is powered on Red: Power supply fault
Status (SYS)	Green/Yellow/Red	Off: System is not on Solid Green: System is fully functional and OMP connection is in the Up state Blinking Green: System is booting up Solid Yellow: System is up but OMP connection is in the Down state Solid Red: System has detected a major system level fault—one of the necessary daemons in the system is down (system will usually reboot shortly after this)
