EY timing error tracked to bad timing fanout port

Daniel, Patrick, Jonathan, Erik, Fil, Ibrahim, Marc, Dave:

Starting around lunchtime and getting more frequent after 2pm the Timing system was showing errors with EY's fanout port_5 (the sixth port). This port sends timing to h1iscey's IO Chassis timing card.

At EY, Marc and I replaced the SFPs in the fanout port_5 and h1iscey's timing card. At this point we could not get port_5 to sync. We tried replacing the timing card itself, but no sync was possible using the new SFPs. Installing the original SFPs restored the sync, but the timing problem was still there. Moving to the unused port_7 (seventh port) of the fanout fixed the problem. We put the original timing card back into the IO Chassis, so at this point all the hardware was original and the fanout SFP had been moved from port_5 to port_6.
