Problem Resolution
Switch fails Power-On Self
Test (POST)
Troubleshoot using the LEDs. See “Diagnosing with the
LEDs” on page 4-2
Link light does not light when
a cable is connected.
The switch may be enabled in Green Mode, where port
Link and Mode LEDs would be off. Press the LED Mode
button to temporarily override Green Mode.
Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they
appear to be OK, make sure the connections are snug. If
that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.
