We use these cards with the Optical Path, not the copper. We never change the dip switch settings. We have had several of these cards fail where the card does not recognize the Fiber link, and tries to go out on the copper link. It is almost as if the dip switch had been set to the copper setting. Any idea if the switch's go bad? Or is the driver chip from the switch to the FPGA bad? Anybody ever try changing that chip? Any other ideas?
Have you checked the optical connections for dirt? Have you tried cleaning the optical connections? Did you do that correctly? Many people don't know there is a correct way and a wrong way. If you have any doubts about cleaning the connectors let me know and I will give a link to how to do it correctly. Do not use "Dust Off". You'll damage the connectors.
