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. Press the button to change from one mode to the next.
The console port is used to connect a console to the switch by using the serial cable supplied
with the switch. The console is a full-featured interface used to configure, monitor, and
troubleshoot the switch. It runs on a PC, laptop, or handheld device emulating a terminal, or
any terminal that configures a communication protocol.
The reset button is used to reset the switch while it is powered on. This action clears any temporary
error conditions that may have occurred, executes the switch self test, and resets all network
activity counters to zero. The counters are displayed in the switch console interface, the switch
web browser interface, and through SNMP network management applications, such as HP
ProCurve Manager for Hubs & Switches.
The clear button is used for the following purposes:
• Deleting passwords — When pressed by itself for at least one second, the Clear button deletes
any switch console access passwords that you may have configured. Use this feature if you
have misplaced the password and need console access. This button is provided for your
convenience, but its presence means that if you are concerned with the security of the switch
configuration and operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure location,
such as a locked wiring closet.
• Restoring factory default configuration — When pressed with the Reset button in a specific
pattern, the Clear button clears any configuration changes you may have made through the
switch console, the web browser interface, or SNMP management, and restores the factory
default configuration to the switch.

Flashing or other device with the fault will flash simultaneously.
On briefly at the beginning of switch self test after the switch is powered
on or reset. If on for a prolonged time, the switch has encountered a
On fatal hardware failure, or has failed its self test.
Off The normal operational state; the switch is not undergoing self test.
The switch self test and initialization are in progress after you have
power cycled or reset the switch. The switch is not operational until this
LED goes off. The Self Test LED also comes on briefly when you hot
swap a module into the switch and the module is automatically self
On tested.
