Installing the Copper SFP Transceiver
The LED turns green when the SFP transceiver and the target device have an established link.
The LED turns amber while the port discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This
process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green.
If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there
might be a problem with the adapter that is installed in the target device. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section of your switch hardware guide for solutions to cabling problems.
