Solving Problems
Indicated by LEDs
If the LEDs on the Switch indicate a problem, refer to Table 3 which
contains a list of problems and suggested solutions.
For information about solving problem“IBM 8271 Nways Ethernet LAN
Switch Management Guide” (35L2186).

Problems indicated by LEDs
Problem
Suggested Solution
A Power LED does not
light
Check that the power cable is firmly connected to the
relevant Switch unit and to the supply outlet. If the
connection is secure and there is still no power, you may
have a faulty power cord.
On powering-up, the
Power/Self Test LED
lights yellow and a
Unit LED lights green
The relevant Switch unit has failed its Power On Self Test
(POST) because of an internal problem. Contact your
supplier for advice.
An Expansion Module
Status LED flashes
yellow
An unrecognized Expansion Module or Matrix Module is
installed into the relevant Switch unit. You may need to
remove the Module, or upgrade the management
software used by the Switch to a version that recognizes
the Module. Contact your supplier for further advice.
A link is connected and
yet the Status LED for
the port does not light
Check that:
■
All connections are secure.
■
The devices at both ends of the link are powered-up.
■
The connection uses cross-over cable if you are
linking a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX port with a device
that is MDIX-only.
The Packet LED for an
Expansion Module is
flashing even though
there is no external
traffic on this link
If you have a Matrix Module installed into your Switch,
this is normal operation. Management software in the
stack passes packets between units even if there is no
other traffic activity.
