switch beaconing or blade beaconing are on.
Individual components might have failed. See the LED tables in Chapter 4, Monitor System
Components for interpretation and recommended
actions.
Pins on the components might be damaged. Remove the component from the chassis and
inspect the pins on the component and inside the
chassis. Do not reinstall if pins on either component
are damaged, as this could damage pins on other
components. Replace the parts as required.
None of the LEDs on a component

traffic loads.
Ensure that the Ethernet traffic remains below
specified amount
Chassis is overheated. Enter the tempshow and sensorShow commands to
check internal temperature. If components are
overheating, shut down port blades as necessary to
return the temperature to operating range.
Also try moving the blades in the chassis since it is
possible that airflow might not be adequate to cool
everything in certain configurations.
