Power Supply
Power problems can be the cause of serious failures and down- time in your network. Ensure that the power input to your system is clean and free from sags and surges to avoid unforeseen net- work outages. We recommend that you install power condition- ing, especially in areas prone to black outs, power dips and electrical storms.
he unit is intended to be grounded. Ensure it is connected to earth ground during normal use. Installing proper grounding helps to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.

PROBLEM SOLVING
Refer to the information about LEDs given earlier in this guide to see if the problem can be identified and rectified. Here are some common problems that can occur:
Link Status LED not lit for a port that has a connection.
here is a problem with this connection. Check that:
The device being connected to is powered on and operating correctly.
The cable is connected at both ends. That you are using a TP cable that is:
■‘Straight through’, to connect an MDIX port to an MDI port.
■
TThe cable is not damaged.
If the connection is to a workstation, that the workstation’s network interface is installed and configured correctly.
All Activity LEDs appear to be lit continually. There may be broadcast storms on the network. Remove port connections one
at a time, waiting a few seconds between each port. If the LEDs go off after removing a port connection, the device that was connected to that port is introducing an excessive amount of broadcast frames to the network (some pieces of network equipment operate by sending out broadcast frames regularly). Refer to the documentation that accompanies the device for information on disabling the broadcast operation.
If the problem persists and the unit still does not operate successfully, contact your supplier with the following information before returning the unit:
