LEDs

On the Series 2600 Switches, there are three groupings of LEDs:

Switch LEDs

Fault

8, 24, or 48 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX ports.
All these ports have the "HP Auto MDIX" feature, which means that you
can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables to
connect any network devices to the switch.
Dual-personality ports. You can use either the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45
connector, or install a supported ProCurve mini-GBIC for fiber-optic
connections. The RJ-45 connectors support the IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X
feature, which operates the same as the "HP Auto-MDIX" feature.
By default, the RJ-45 connectors are enabled. If a mini-GBIC is installed,
it is enabled and the associated RJ-45 connector is disabled and cannot
be used. If the mini-GBIC is removed, the associated RJ-45 port is
automatically re-enabled.

Switch Status LEDs
State Meaning
On The switch is receiving power.
Off The switch is NOT receiving power. (Unless and RPS is connected to the
switch. If the switch looses power and the RPS is actively powering the
switch, the Power LED will be off and the switch will still have power and
all other LEDs will be functional.)
Off The normal state; indicates there are no fault conditions on the switch.

Blinking A fault has occurred on the switch, one of the switch ports, the fan, or the
RPS or EPS operation of the switch. The Status LED for the component
with the fault will blink simultaneously.
On On briefly after the switch is powered on or reset, at the beginning of
switch self test. If this LED is on for a prolonged time, the switch has
encountered a fatal hardware failure, or has failed its self test. See
