Corroded port on new switch

Hi

We just took delivery of a WS-12-DC but it looks like a couple of ports have some corrosion on them out of the box.
It's hard to see in the picture but there is definitely something on ports 8 and 12.

I haven't powered it up yet to test if the ports are ok - not sure I want to power up any of our devices to be honest!

Has anyone else had any issues with the switches out of the box?
Have to say, this is the first problem we've had.
Deployed a 12-port elsewhere to replace 3 Toughswitches and going great - no problems and great increase in throughput.

Took a shot and powered up one of our old Titanium radios and seemed to power it up with no issues and negotiate at 1Gig.
So it may be nothing to worry about.

Think I'll go ahead with it and see how it goes.
