Faulty media
This section describes the behavior of pluggable media that OS10 cannot read because of some hardware or mechanical fault.
Detect faulty media
If the pluggable media that you insert into an interface is faulty, you will see a message similar to the following one on the
console:
Nov 09 15:03:23 OS10 dn_alm[997]: Node.1-Unit.1:PRI [event],
Dell EMC (OS10) %EQM_MEDIA_PRESENT: Media inserted . Media FAULT MEDIA
in slot:1 port:47 serial number: is not qualified
Use the show inventory media command to check for faulty media. This command lists all the optical modules installed in
switch ports. Optical modules that are listed as FAULT MEDIA cannot be read and the show commands do not display all the
information for such modules.

Troubleshoot faulty media
NOTE: For normal operations, you must replace any faulty media inserted in the switch.
1. Check whether the optical module is inserted properly by performing an online insertion and removal (OIR) on the faulty
media.
2. If the issue persists, use the Return Material Authorization (RMA) process and replace the faulty media.

Dell EMC networking switches that are part of a larger solution require a solution identifier (ID).
