      If the Gateway Status (health) LED is off on your Mellanox Technologies Gateway, make sure there is enough ventilation. Check if the fan LEDs show that the fans are running. Ensure nothing is blocking the front or rear of the gateway and that the fan modules and ventilation holes are not blocked by dust. If dust is blocking the holes, clean the fan unit and remove dust from the front and rear panels with a vacuum cleaner.
