Decoding the GoFlex Home Lights
The lights on the front of the GoFlex Home dock change color and flash to indicate the status
of the drive and device. This section explains the meaning of the lights and what to do if a
problem occurs.
If the GoFlex Home light indicates a problem:
•
Ensure that the drive is properly and fully connected to the dock.
•
Ensure that your home network isn’t down or disabled. (Look at the lights on the back of
the GoFlex Home dock—if they’re not on and blinking, GoFlex Home is not connected to
your network.)
•
Ensure that the Ethernet cable connecting GoFlex Home to your router isn’t damaged.
•
Ensure that your Internet connection isn’t down or disabled. (Open a browser on your
computer to check.)
If the Drive light indicates a problem:
•
Ensure that the drive is properly and fully connected to the dock.
•
Ensure that neither the dock nor the drive is damaged.
