Sounds like a bad board maybe. Try re-seating the boards in the switch, and if they dont re-initialize - try busyout and release on the boards affected.
If that fails - call avaya for further technical assistance. The boards should not show disconnected unless you've changed their integrated port assignments and hardware config, etc.
Easiest is to pull the boards out, and push them back in the switch though.
