Learn how to identify the LEDs on the Network Processing Card.

The following table describes how to interpret the status LEDs on a Network Processing Card (NPC).

LED	Description
	Service Allows a remote administrator to illuminate the LED on a specific front-slot card so an on-site technician can locate the card. Off —The firewall is operating normally. Blue —The firewall is instructed by the CLI or Web Interface to enable this LED.
	Power Green —The firewall is powered on. Off —The firewall is not powered on or an error occurred with the internal power system (for example, power is not within tolerance levels).
	Status Green —The firewall is operating normally. Yellow —The firewall is booting.
	Alarm Red —A hardware failure, such as a power supply failure, a firewall failure that caused an HA failover, a drive failure, or the hardware overheated and exceeded the high temperature threshold. Off —The firewall is operating normally.
	Temperature Green —The firewall temperature is normal. Yellow —The firewall temperature is outside tolerance levels. See the PA-7500 Series Firewall Environmental Specifications for the operating temperature range.

The following table describes how to interpret the LEDs on the NPC ports.

LED	Description
SFP, SFP+, and SFP28	The SFP, SFP+ and SFP28 ports have four LEDs each; the LED illuminated depends on the transceiver that is installed. The color of the LED differs based on the port speed. 1Gbps—Yellow 10Gbps—Green 25Gbps—Teal 40Gbps—Yellow 100Gbps—Blue Solid Color —The firewall network link is up. Blinking Color —The firewall is processing network activity.
QSFP+ and QSFP28	The QSFP+ and QSFP28 ports have four LEDs each. On the QSFP28 ports, the LEDs are illuminated based on breakout status. Breaking out the port to 10Gbps causes all LEDs to glow green. Breaking out the port to 100Gbps causes all LEDs to glow teal. If the port is not broken out, the LEDs glow yellow for 40Gbps and blue for 400Gbps.
