Checking the LEDs
The LEDs display the status of the storage subsystem and components. Green
LEDs indicate a normal operating status; amber LEDs (Fault) indicate a possible
failure.
It is important to check all the LEDs on the front and back of the storage subsystem
when you turn on the power. During power up, the indicator LEDs blink
intermittently as the storage subsystem and components complete the power-up
process. It can take up to 15 minutes for the battery to complete its self-test and up
to 24 hours to fully charge, particularly after an unexpected power loss of more than
a few minutes.
Front Bezel LEDs
The DS4500 Storage Subsystem has five LEDs on the front bezel, as shown in
Figure 88. To view these LEDs, you do not have to remove the DS4500 bezel.
Table 17 describes the front LEDs.
