Step 4 Observe the port status LED.
The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link.
If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be
problem with the adapter installed in the target device.
Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP
When connecting to a 1000BASE-T device, be sure to use a four twisted-pair, Category 5 or higher cable.
