Reset and clear buttons Self test LED Status LEDs for the fans, power supplies and switch modules LED mode select button and indicator LEDs 5.1.1 ProCurve 5308xl LEDs and Ports To optimize the amount of information displayed for each of the switch ports, the switches use a Mode LED for each port. The operation of this LED is controlled by the LED Mode Select button on the switch chassis, and the current selection is indicated by the mode indicator LEDs near the button.
Table 5-1 Switch Chassis LEDs (continued) LEDs Status/Fan (green) State Meaning Flashing A component of the switch has failed its self test. The Status LED for that component, for example a switch module, and the switch Fault LED will flash simultaneously. On The cooling fans are operating normally. Flashing One or more of the cooling fans have failed. The switch Fault LED will be flashing simultaneously.
Figure 5-2 ProCurve 5308 xl Rear View (with redundant power supply) 2 1 Item Description 1 AC power source 2 Redundant power supply The rear of the switch also has a slot for installing an optional redundant power supply. To provide true redundancy, the second power supply should be connected to a different AC power source from the other supply. Then, if one AC power source fails, the switch will continue to run.
During the self test, the following sequence of events occurs: • All the switch chassis LEDs go on. • After approximately 30 seconds, all the module LEDs go on as the modules receive power and code is downloaded to them. • The Fault LED goes off. • The chassis LEDs go off except Power, Self Test, Fan Status, and Power Status. • When the download of code to the modules is completed, the module LEDs go off. • Each port LED goes on briefly, in sequence, as the port is tested.
• • • • Auto-configuration — a default configuration is applied to the module when the switch is powered on and the module passes self test Compatible with 802.3 (10Base-T), 802.3u (100Base-TX), and 802.3ab (1000Base-T) IEEE standards Hot swappable Link and mode LEDs (one pair per port) Table 5-2 describes the LEDs on a ProCurve 10/100/1000-T xl module.
