    This chapter contains suggestions on how to troubleshoot the switch if a problem occurs. Note For further assistance, please contact Allied Telesis Technical Support at www.alliedtelesis.com/support. Problem 1: The Switch ID LED on the front of the switch is off.
  • Page 100 Chapter 9: Troubleshooting  Verify that VCStack is activated on the switches. For instructions, refer to Chapter 5, “Verifying the Status of VCStack” on page 63.  It could be that the switches have incompatible versions of the management software. When a stack forms or a new switch is added to an existing stack, the master switch downloads its management software to member switches that do not have the same version.
  • Page 101 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking  If you are using SFP+ slots 27 or 28 on the AT-x510-28GTX Switch or slots 51 and 52 on the AT-x510-52GTX, check that VCStack is disabled on the switch. The VCStack feature has to be disabled before you can use these slots for regular SFP or SFP+ transceivers.
  • Page 102 The input voltage on one or both of the power supplies is outside the normal operating range.  The internal temperature of the switch has exceeded the normal operating range and the switch may shut down. Contact your Allied Telesis sales representative for assistance.
