panel LEDs are off, this means that the Nexsan Storage System
has been powered down through the GUI. It can be powered back
up using the

SW0

switch (see

Rear panel

on the next page).

System is operating within specification. Amber indicates that the
drawer is unlocked. Red indicates a fault in the drawer.

If all

STAT
