3. Reset and clear buttons 4. Self test LED 5. Status LEDs for the fans, power supplies and switch modules 6. LED mode select button and indicator LEDs 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. Table 5-1 describes the LEDs on a ProCurve 5308xl chassis. Table 5-1 Switch Chassis LEDs LEDs Power (green) Fault (orange) Self Test (green) State On Off Off Flashing On Off On Meaning The switch is receiving power. The switch is not receiving power. The normal state; indicates that there are no fault conditions on the switch. A fault has occurred on the switch, one of the switch modules, an individual port, a power supply, or a fan. The Status LED for the module 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 fatal hardware failure, or has failed its self test. 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 tested. 5.1 ProCurve 5308xl Features 35
