Hi,

In this section, we describe common methods for troubleshooting typical hardware faults.

6.1   Power Supply Failures

6.1.1   A Device Fails to Be Powered On

Fault Description

The SYS indicator of a device is off.

Possible Causes

Power Supply Mode

Possible Cause

Power supply using a power module


  • The device is powered off.

  • The power cable is not securely connected to the device.

  • The power supply unit has failed.

    • If the device connects to an external power source, its power adapter may fail.

    • If the device has a built-in power supply, the device itself may be faulty.

PoE power supply


  • The power sourcing equipment does not support the PoE function or is faulty.

  • The power sourcing equipment does not support the required power supply mode.

  • The power sourcing equipment does not provide sufficient power.

  • The power sourcing equipment is incorrectly configured (the PoE function is disabled or the power-off time range is improperly set).

  • The line is faulty (the network cable or distribution frame is damaged).

  • The device is faulty.

Troubleshooting Procedure

Power Supply Mode

Troubleshooting Procedure

Power supply using a power module


  1. Check whether the device is powered off.

  2. Check that the power cable is securely connected to the device.

  3. Check whether the power supply is normal.

    Replace the power adapter with a normal one. If the device is powered on, the original power adapter is faulty. Contact technical support personnel or Huawei agent and ask them to replace the power adapter.

  4. If the device still cannot be powered on, the device itself is faulty. Contact technical support personnel or Huawei agent and ask them to replace the device.

PoE power supply


  1. Check whether the power sourcing equipment supports PoE or is faulty.

  2. Check whether the power output mode of the power sourcing equipment is supported by the powered device.

  3. Check whether the power sourcing equipment can support the maximum power consumption of the device.

  4. Check whether the configuration on the power sourcing equipment causes PoE power supply errors, such as the PoE function is disabled or the power-off time range is incorrectly set.

  5. Check whether the network cable or distribution frame is faulty.

  6. If the device still cannot be powered on, the device itself is faulty. Contact technical support personnel or Huawei agent and ask them to replace the device.

The output power of an 802.3af PSE port is 15.4 W, and that of an 802.3at PSE port is 30 W.

6.2   Interface Faults

6.2.1   An Optical Interface Cannot Turn Up

Fault Description

After an optical interface is connected to a remote device through an optical fiber, its LINK indicator is off.

Possible Causes

  • The optical fiber is faulty.

  • The optical module on the optical interface cannot meet the requirements.

Troubleshooting Procedure

  1. Replace the optical fiber and optical module and check whether the optical interface can turn Up. Ensure that the optical module meets the following requirements.

  2. Determine optical module attributes.

  • The transmission distance of an optical module is 10 km, 15 km, 20 km, 40 km, or 80 km. The optical modules with a longer transmission distance have a higher transmit power. If an optical module with a long transmission distance is used for short-distance transmission, the optical interface cannot turn Up because the transmit power is too high. The high transmit power may even burn the receiver of the remote optical module. To reduce the transmit power in this situation, use an optical attenuator between the optical module and optical fiber.

  • Optical modules with different speeds are available, for example, 155 Mbit/s, 622 Mbit/s, and 1.25 Gbit/s. You must use an optical module with the same speed as the optical interface to ensure efficient optical transmission.

  • The optical module has passed Huawei certification.

  • The transmission speed of the optical module is the same as the interface speed.

  • Check whether the wavelength of the optical module is the same as that of the remote optical module.

  • The transmission distance of the optical module is suitable for the actual distance between the two devices.

If the interface remains Down, contact technical support personnel.
