Troubleshooting

The network port for which the LED is blinking has experienced a self test or initialization failure.

If the Mdl Status LED is blinking, the affected port is on the yl Module.

Try power cycling the switch. If the fault indication reoccurs, the switch port may have failed. Call your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from ProCurve to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty booklet for more information.

If the port is a pluggable, verify it is one of the pluggables supported by the switch. Unsupported pluggables will be identified with this fault condition. The supported mini- GBICs are listed in Chapter 2, “Installing the Switch” on page 2-1, supported transceivers are listed in the ProCurve Switch yl Module Installation Guide. The mini-GBICs are also tested when they are “hot-swapped”—installed or changed while the switch is powered on.

To verify the port has failed, try removing and reinstalling the mini-GBIC without having to power off the switch. If the port fault indication reoccurs, you will have to replace the mini-GBIC.
