Cisco 3550 Question - Stopping the "orange light" when you plug something into a port

Hi All.

I have just taken over a post at work and noticed that the previous owner was using a Cisco Switch. A 3550 (IOS 12.0 5.2). Although I know the basics on a switch, I was wondering if there is any way of stopping the "orange light" initialization bit when you plug something into the switch or after you turn your PC on?

Just that some of my PC's boot up quicker than it takes the switch to initialize.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I am assuming you only have one switch? If you have more, only disable portfast on ports that are connected with Workstations and not on the ports that are connected to hubs or other switches.
