monitor the server's activity and status:

Checking Disk Drive Status Using SMART
Monitoring Status with the Server's LEDs
Your BlackArmor NAS 110 server has several LEDs to help you monitor the status of its
components, as well as its network and backup activity. (See the illustration on page 10 for
help locating the LEDs.)

Using the LEDs to Monitor the Server
The System Status LED will indicate when there's a problem. When it's blue, the server and
its components are working properly.
If the System Status LED turns amber, a problem has occurred.
1. Check the LAN port LED on the back of the server, and the disk drive LED to locate the
source of the problem.
