An Appoge Big Ben Question from a novice

Okay, I've added the big ben as the master in my clock chain all appears to be good, a/d's are clocking and all sounds fine.
So the question I have is that the blue 'narrow' led flickers periodically and not overly bright when it is stable, is this the default behavior?, I ran the led test and the led appears to be okay, The unit is well ventilated and cool to the touch..

Question on routing of Big Ben, Interface w/ FX Processors

I currently have a Big Ben master clock routing to my RME FF800.

My FX Processors dont have a dedicated WC input, so I assume I need to run my S/PDIF to my soundcard. However, is it critical that the soundcard would be a slave clock (from the Big Ben) or does it have to be a master?

Any help on this is appreciated. I have run a digital Studio for a couple of years using only a Mackie clock card and am sold on the Apogee Big Ben as one worth the investment. I haven't upgraded much lately and am unsure about exactly how you clock gear like the Eclipse, TCFinalizer, Lexicon reverbs, etc.
