3. Check to insure that the front-panel Power LED is lit. If not,

check that the power cable is correctly plugged in. (Refer to

Chapters 1 and 4 for detailed explanations of the LEDs.)

Diagnostics

Upon power up, the system performs an internal self-diagnostic

test of major switch components. If any component fails

during the test, the switch will try to complete the diagnostic

procedure. Otherwise, the system will hang.* The components

tested include:

◆System ROM

◆System EEPROM

◆Ports

* Note: If the system should hang, take note of the LED indicators

and contact SMC Technical Support.
