System Self-Diagnostic Test Failure

If the Diag LED indicates a failure of the system power-on-self-test (POST), you can use
a console connection to view the POST results. The POST results may indicate a failed
component or help troubleshoot the problem. For more information on connecting to the
console port and using the CLI, refer to the Supermicro Switch CLI Reference Guide.
Note a POST failure normally indicates a serious hardware fault that cannot be rectified
or worked around. If you encounter a POST failure, you should contact your dealer for
assistance.

Power and Cooling Problems

If a power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a
problem with the power outlet, power cord, or PSU. However, if the switch powers off
after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at
the power outlet. If you still cannot isolate the problem, the PSU may be defective.
