XS580M - Fan Light Question

Hello,


I have an XS580M Netgear unmanaged 10GBE switch and the fan light is on (could tell when turned out all lights), but it is very faint (image attached)... The item is new. Is this an issue or is it supposed to be this way? All of the other leds are very bright. It is running and seems to work properly, however I'm not sure if I should return it or if this is normal? It's 78' in the room and it's barely warm with the fan running and it's very quiet. Thanks again and I greatly appreciate the help!

  • I had someone confirm who owns the same switch that by default the fan light is off... Is there a way to turn it on? Can someone please let me know how to enable the fan light on the XS580M? Thank you very much.

      Well, hopefully this will help someone if they ever have a question... The default with it functioning properly is the fan light is OFF, if there is a fan issue the light will become orange... See attached pic from the manual.
