Welcome to the community!
Does this behavior only happen on one XS728T or on multiple switches?
You could try doing the following such as:
- Performing a Factory Defaults and/or reboot
- Performing a loopback test by connecting two ends of the Ethernet cable on the same switch (ex. port 1 to port 10 on the same switch)
If the port LEDs are still not lighting up, then most likely it's a defective switch and if it's a recent purchase, you may contact the reseller to have it replaced.

- Should your cabling (to the PC in question) bot allow GbE, eg. because of not all four pairs are workable, or the PC does not have a GbE capable adapter - these switches don't support 10M/100M Ethernet/Fast Ethernet links, only 1G and 10G.
