    All LEDs might flash amber, blue, off, and then green during the first two seconds while the connection module is powering up. The green Health LED remains static when the frame link module powers up the SAS connection module. Fans will slowly ramp up (9 minutes maximum) until the connection module firmware boots up. If the Health LED is flashing amber or off, do one of the following: Remove the module from the frame Interconnect Bay and reinstall it, pressing firmly on the module and the locking latch handle to ensure it is seated properly.
