In the SN5400 and SN5600 switches there are two power supply inlets in each system (for redundancy). The system can operate with only one power supply connected. Each power supply unit has two single color LEDs on the right side of the unit, that indicate the status of the unit.

When looking from the FRUs side, the first power supply (PS) unit is located on the left side of the system, and the second unit is located on the right side.

Each QSFP-DD/OSFP module can be used as two 4X ports or four 2X ports, and certain modules can be split to eight 1X ports as well. Each QSFP-DD/OSFP module has one dedicated bi-color LED. In order to provide link information for more than one port by using one LED, LED splitting control button is available. You may use the lane select button to select between 8 indication states. By pressing the button, the next indication state will be selected in a cyclic manner. The current state can be identified by the LED splitting state indication LEDs. The states and their indications are detailed in the below table.
