The system status LEDs should display as follows:
• when the switch is plugged in, within five minutes the switch status LED should light
up green
• the FAN LED should light up green. If the FAN LED shows red, replace the switch.
• the PS1 LED for the plugged in PS unit should light up green
• the PS2 LED for the second PS unit should light up green only if a second PS unit is
installed in the switch for redundancy and it is connected to a power source
• if two PS units are installed and only one PS unit is connected to a power supply the PS2
LED will be red
• if only one PS unit is installed in the switch, the PS2 LED will be off
If the PS LEDs are not green, this indicates a problem with the power supplies. The switch is
operational only if at least one of the PS LEDs is green.
