    Why is the System Status LED blinking for more than 5 minutes on my Mellanox Technologies SX1024 Switch?
    • L
      Lisa GutierrezSep 1, 2025
      If the System Status LED on your Mellanox Technologies Switch is blinking for more than 5 minutes, it means the MLNX-OS software did not boot properly, and only the firmware is running. Connect to the system via the console port and check the software status. If the MLNX-OS software still does not load properly, you might need to contact an FAE.
