Port Status LED not lit for a 10BASE-T port that has a 
connection.
 There is a problem with this connection. 
Check that you are using a straight-through 10BASE-T cable 
which is properly connected at both ends, and is not 
damaged. If the cable is connected to port 8, ensure that 
the Uplink/Normal switch is set to Normal (out). Also check 
that the equipment being connected to the hub is powered 
on and operating correctly. Refer to Figure 9 below to 
compare the wiring of a straight-through and a crossover 
cable.
