Troubleshooting

AC Power Module Does Not Work

1. Place the switches of all the power modules to OFF.
2. Check if the cables have been correctly connected. Check whether the power cables are tightly connected to the power sockets and modules. Check whether the power modules are installed correctly. If necessary, pull out the power modules and check whether the connectors on the backboard of the power system are tightened.

Power LED Working Abnormally

1. Check if the service module is firmly inserted. If so, install the service module again and ensure that it is inserted into place before you tighten the fastening screws.
2. If the service module still does not work, check if the connector of the slot on the backplane is loose. If yes, insert the service module to another slot for a try. If the slot and connection are not the cause, return the service module for repair.

Fan Tray Does Not Work
Check if the connection between the fan tray and the backplane is secure and if the connector gets loose. If the connection is secure, you need to replace the fan tray. No Characters/Distorted Characters are Displayed on the Screen of the
Terminal Device

1. Check whether the console cable is correctly connected.
2. Check whether the console cable is broken.
3. Check whether the console port of the switch is the same as the port of the terminal device.
4. Check whether the console port configuration of the terminal device is correct.

Serial Port Console Has No Output

1. Check whether serial port cables are connected correctly and whether the connected serial port is identical with that configured on the super terminal.
2. Check whether the configuration of the serial port is the same as that described in Software Configuration Guide. If not, modify the serial port configuration parameters.

Link Cannot be Set up between Fiber Interfaces
Confirm whether the interface is a copper/fiber combo interface. If yes, it should be configured in fiber mode. Then, do as follows:

1. Check whether the receiving and sending ends are wrongly connected.
2. Check whether the optical module wavelength of the twosides is consistent.
3. Check whether the distance between the two sides exceeds the length indicated on the optical module.
4. Check whether the rates of the two sides match and whether the optical fiber type meets requirements. In addition, for ports supporting different rates, check whether rate modes are configured correctly.
