Warranty Information
Warranty terms are detailed in the Customer Support/Warranty booklet included with the product.
The HP E2620 Switches are multiport switches designed for high-performance switched workgroup networks. They function as store-and-forward devices, offering low latency for high-speed networking. Non-PoE and PPoE+ models support Redundant Power Supply (RPS/EPS). E2620-PoE+ models also support Redundant and External Power Supply and Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) technologies. These switches feature auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports and Gigabit Uplink ports. PoE+ enabled ports can provide power to connected devices.
Troubleshooting and error codes
| Switch LEDs | State | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Fault (orange) | Off | The normal state; indicates there are no fault conditions on the switch. |
| Flashing² | A fault has occurred with a component on the switch. The Status LED for the component with the fault will flash simultaneously. | |
| Locator (blue) | On | The Locator LED is used to locate a specific switch in an area full of switches. The LED can be set to be on solid or flash for a specified number of minutes (1-1440). The default is 30 minutes. Use the command "chassislocate". |
| PoE (green/orange) | On | Normal operation. The switch is ready to supply PoE power. |
| PoE (green/orange) | Flashing/orange | One or more ports has experienced a fault condition for PoE delivery. The Fault LED will be flashing simultaneously. If it is a self test failure, the Test LED will be flashing simultaneously. When the switch is put in PoE LED Mode, The Mode LED for the port with the problem will also be flashing simultaneously. |
| PoE (green/orange) | Flashing/orange | One or more ports has an alert condition for PoE delivery, for example, an oversubscription condition (not enough PoE power available). Only this LED will be flashing, the Fault LED is off. When the switch is put in PoE LED Mode, The Mode LEDs for the ports with the alert condition will also be flashing. |
| RPS Status (green/orange) | On | Normal operation. An external power supply is connected and operating correctly. The external power supply could be powering the unit. |
| Flashing orange | An external power supply is connected but may be powering another switch or the external power supply has experienced a fault. Only this LED flashes, the Fault LED is off. | |
| Off | An external power supply is not connected. | |
| EPS Status (green) | On | The switch is connected to an external power supply and operating correctly. |
| Flashing orange | The external power supply has experienced a fault: • There is a fan, overcurrent, power supply, or temp fault on the EPS. • The Switch detects the EPS is present but cannot communicate with it. Check the Error Log on the switch for more information. | |
| Fan (green/orange) | On | The cooling fan is operating normally. |
| Flashing orange² | The cooling fan has failed. The switch Fault LED will be flashing simultaneously. | |
| Test (green/orange) | Off | The normal operational state; the switch is not undergoing self test. |
| On | The switch self test and initialization are in progress after the switch has been power cycled or reset. The switch is not operational until this LED goes off. The Test LED also comes on briefly when you "hot swap" a mini-GBIC into the switch; the mini-GBIC is tested when it is hot swapped. | |
| Flashing orange² | A component of the switch has failed its self test. The switch Fault LED, Test LED, and the failed component LED will flash simultaneously. |
