If a problem is detected the ESI processor will change the color of the relevant LED to AMBER. Refer to 

Chapter 4

 for details of any fault indication.

3.4 Starting the Drives

All drives in the enclosure should automatically start their motors after power is applied. If this has not 
occurred there may be a power problem (a power fault indication would normally be active).

3.4.1 Disk Drives LEDs

Each drive carrier incorporates two indicators, an upper (Green) and lower (Amber). In normal operation 
the Green LED will be ON and will flicker as the drive operates.

3.5 Power Down

To power the enclosure down,

either

• Switch OFF the Power Supply modules installed in the Enclosure,

or

• Remove AC Mains at the power source.

Table 3–1

ESI/Ops Panel LEDs

LED Indicator

Symbol

Meaning

System Status

Green to signify that there is power applied to the enclosure. 
Amber if the ESI processor has failed.

Power Status

Green if the power supply/supplies are functioning normally, 

Amber if there is a PSU failure in a dual powered enclosure.

Cooling Status

Green if all fans are functioning correctly.
Amber if there is a fan failure in any module.
