FXT 5000 Series Field Service Guide
3.4 Controls and LED Status Lights
This section gives details about the buttons and LED indicators on the FXT 5000 Series.
3.4.1 Control Panel Buttons
Each FXT 5000 Series node has two buttons, which appear on the front right control panel section.
Front Control Panel
Power Button
The power button can be used to turn the node on and off.
The power button should never be used to power off a system unless absolutely necessary. All system
shutdowns should be done from the Avere Control Panel interface so that the cluster can properly recon-
figure itself when restarting.
In some circumstances the user might have no other choice but to use the power button to power off a
node. In that case, follow this procedure:
1. Press and release the power button once, and wait. The system will attempt to perform an orderly
shutdown, which can take several minutes.
If you do not see evidence of the node shutting down within five minutes, try the next step.
2. If the node does not power down from the single button press, press and hold the power button for
at least 3 seconds. The system will shut down immediately.
Unit Identifier (UID) Button
Push the UID button on the front of the chassis to activate or deactivate the unit identifier LED.
