3COM SuperStack3 Orange Status led

[SagaLore]

I have several 24port 3com switches, matrixed together. To right of each row of ports, is a packet led and a status led. On one of my switches, the bottom status led is lit solid orange (no blinking).

The other switches do not have this lit. Anybody know if this is an error message, and what it indicates? Bad port maybe?

Apparently 3com's link cannot be copied and pasted. Will get you the actual page when I get a chance.

1st rule of networking.

Green good. Orange kinda bad. Red really bad.

copied from 3com's support page:

The LED display has one LED for each port, laid out in the same order as the ports are located on the front panel.
The LED?s show speed and activity on the ports.

When the port LED is off, there is no link, when it is green, there is a 10/100Mbps link present and when it is amber, there is a 1000MB link present The port LED will flash when there is traffic being transmitted or received by the port.
Note: The LED?s will not show whether the port is in full or half duplex mode.
The power and diagnostic LED?s are used to indicate whether the switch is operating correctly.
Both Power and Diag LED's should be green when everything is okay.
If the power LED is off, or RED then there is a power supply fault and the switch will not boot up.

The Diagnostic LED indicates the status of the switch.
When the switch is powered up, the Diag LED flashes green for about 40 seconds, then extinguishes. When the LED comes back to a solid green colour (approx 60 seconds) then the switch is ready to be managed or pass traffic.
The Diag LED will show if a loopback fault has occurred on a port, or if an internal cooling fan has failed.
It will flash red if a fan has failed, and the switch will continue to operate.
It will be solid red, and the corresponding port LED will flash amber/ green, if a port fails the loopback test at bootup. The switch will continue to operate, but the failed port will be disabled.

The SFP module active LED?s will light if an SFP module is inserted into ports 21- 24, and it establishes a link. The corresponding copper port will be disabled while the module active LED is lit and the port status LED will show activity on the SFP port.
