For TL-SG1048/TL-SG1024/TL-SG1024D/TL-SG1016/TL-SG1016D/TL-SG1008:

After the device is powered on, it begins the Power-On Self-Test. A series of tests run automatically to ensure the device functions properly. During this time, its LED indica- tors will respond as follows:

■■

All of the LED indicators will flash momentarily for one second, which represents a resetting of the system.

The Power LED indicator will light up.

For TL-SG1008PE:

The LED indicators for TL-SG1008PE are classified into two parts:

The LEDs indicating switch status including Power LED, Link/Act LEDs and 1000Mbps LEDs; the LEDs indicating PSE status, including PoE MAX LED and PoE Status LEDs.

■■

All of the LEDs indicating swith status will flash momentarily for one second, which represents a resetting of the switch system. The PoE MAX LED will keep on for approximately ten seconds, representing a resetting of the PSE system. Take note that the PoE Status LEDs won't light up during this period.

The Power LED indicator will light up.
