TEMP LED is Amber
If the TEMP LED is amber, the internal temperature of the switch has exceeded the opera-
tional limit.
Solution
Perform the following steps:
1. Turn off the switch and wait until it has completely cooled down.
2. Check the immediate environment and ensure that the switch is not located in an area
where it can be overheated by other heat-producing devices.
3. Ensure that the switch is located in an area where there is ample room for air flow around
the chassis.
If the environment is satisfactory, check the internal cooling fans. The switch is shipped with
redundant fans that start automatically when you power up the unit. Try powering up and
listen for the fan motors. Also, you should feel a slight air flow near the chassis. If the fans are
not working, power down and contact Alcatel Technical Support.
STA LED Is Off
There is one status LED per port on Ethernet switching modules. When lit, it indicates that a
good cable connection exists to an Ethernet device.
Probable Cause
The LAN cable is not connected properly or is faulty.
Solution
Check all port connections and inspect the cable. If you find a faulty cable, replace the cable.
Switch Does Not Boot When Flash File System Is Full and Trying To Create
the mpm.cnf File
You may have saved too many files to the flash file system. If the flash file system is full, it
will be unable to create the
mpm.cnf file and it will be unable to complete the boot process.
Probable Cause
Unnecessary image or data files exist in the flash file system.
Solution
Follow the steps below to free up memory in the flash file system.
1. Reboot the switch and enter the Boot Line prompt. (See Appendix A, “The Boot Line
Prompt,” for more information.)
2. Use the Boot Line R command to delete any necessary files. Make sure you lave enough
room for the switch to create the mpm.cnf file.
3. Use the Boot Line @ command to continue the boot process.
