The following information does not apply to the SN2100/SN2010 systems. In these systems, the power supply units are non-replaceable, and there is a designated LED for each unit in the system’s front panel. (Front panel figures are located in the .Introduction vAdding_SN2201.)
There are two power supply inlets in the system (for redundancy). The system can operate with only one power supply connected. In case the power supply is an FRU, a second power supply unit can be added to support hot-swap ability. Each power supply unit has a single 2 color LED on the right side of the unit, that indicates the status of the unit.

The primary power supply (PS) unit is located on the left side, and the secondary unit is located on the right side.

The UID LED is a debug feature, that the user can use to find a particular system within a cluster by turning on the UID blue LED.
To activate the UID LED on a switch system, run:
switch (config) # led MGMT uid on
To verify the LED status, run:
switch (config) # show leds

In the SN2410 systems, the status of each pair of adjacent QSFP28 ports is indicated by four LEDs, as shown in the picture above:
While the bottom LEDs signify the port status in regular condition, the upper LEDs operate only when the port is split.
When one port is split to two, a connection of 100GbE can be utilized in its adjacent port.
When one port is split to four, it adjacent port is canceled.
If the ports run at a 100GbE/40GbE speed each, the two lower LEDs (2 and 4) will light green.
If the ports run at a 50GbE speed each, the left LEDs (1 and 2) will light green for the upper port, and the right LEDs (3 and 4) will light green for the lower port.
If the ports run at a 25GbE/10GbE speed each, all LEDs may light green, according to the selected lane.
