If the red LEDs return to normal operation, then the problem is in actual slot of the chassis and likely the connector on the back rail is damaged. Contact ATX and report a defective chassis. If this does not fix the problem then contact ATX and report a defective module. 5.2.2. Chassis’ Yellow COM LED Not Blinking It is normal for the round LED near the RJ45 port at the rear of the chassis to be solid ON or OFF during various states of system boot-up. - Page 18 If the suspect module is okay and the previously good module fails, contact ATX and report a defective chassis. If the suspect module fails and the previously good module is okay, contact ATX and report that the suspect module is defective.
