Identifying problems using LEDs

Each NAS Gateway 300 has LEDs to help you identify problems with some engine
components. These LEDs are part of the light-path diagnostics built into the engine.
By following the path of lights, you can identify the type of system error that
occurred. There are three sources of LED information:
v Operator information panel
v Power supply
v Diagnostics panel
