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.
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.
