Control Panel Status Light Operation
When first powered on, the disk array controller performs an extensive self-test. At first, a memory test is
performed. During the memory test, the control panel status light will remain off for about one minute.
Then a build process occurs. During the build process, the control panel status light is amber for about
twenty seconds. At this time, the power-on self-test is finished, and now the control panel status light
flashes green with input/output (I/O) activity.
If the power-on self-test passed successfully, the indicator will flash green with I/O activity. If any part of
the disk array does not pass self-test, or if a problem occurs, the control panel status light will be amber
(solid or flashing).
