Some ethernet ports don't work

Close. It is a Cisco 2950, hooked through a 3Com Super Stack switch. Looking at the back of the super stack, all of the port lights are lit up, both green and yellow. What does this mean?

All Power to Fans

I cleaned all of the vents. I took the CPU fan off and cleaned it and the heat sink. I cleaned all of the dust out of the computer cabinet, but still have the same problem. Any other ideas?
