Remember that male and female connectors must be of the same type for them to fit:
L-shaped female to L-shaped male or eSATA female to eSATA male.
•
First check that you are connecting the correct type of connectors
•
If your connectors still do not fit, rotate the cable and try again
Front Panel Status LEDs
Power-On Self Test, Test/Fault Beeper, & Mute Button
On the front of the SeriTek/5PMFive-Bay Enclosure there are 3 status lights (PWR, FAN, &
TEMP), and a MUTE button. There are also status lights on each disk drive tray: a white light
(top) and a blue light (bottom). Look at Table 1, Status Light & Test/Fault Beeper Function
Table for a description of what these lights mean:

Table 1: Status Light & Test/Fault Beeper Function Table
If one of the two fans in your SeriTek/5PM fails (or spins slowly) the FAN status light will turn
Red and the Beeper Alarm will stay on continuously.
FirmTek recommends if a fan fails,
replace it as soon as possible.
At this time, pressing the Mute button will turn the Beeper off.
However, if the second fan fails the Beeper Alarm will stay off.
The default SeriTek/5PM fan setting is Medium. The low speed fan setting is designed for short
term use with noise critical applications. The manufacturer does not recommend using the low
speed fan setting for extended periods of time. If the temperature within the enclosure rises
above 60°C (140 degrees Fahrenheit), the TEMP LED will turn Red and the Beeper Alarm will
sound continuously, indicating an over-temperature FAULT.
Note:
If the Beeper Alarm was turned off (muted) after a fan failure and the enclosure
temperature later increases to above 60°C, the Beeper Alarm will sound off again
continuously and the TEMP LED will turn Red indicating an over-temperature FAULT.
Note:
The Beeper Alarm can be turned off by pressing the Mute button; FirmTek, recommends
that the SeriTek/5PM not be used when there is an over-temp condition: In such a case,
shutdown the SeriTek/5PM until the over-temp condition is resolved.
