For Xgig 1000 units with the original motherboard
(no rear power switch on the
back panel), the System LED will become steady yellow when the system has shut-
down. This is the indication that you can remove the power cable.
•
For Xgig 1000 units with the new motherboard
(rear power switch on back panel),
all LEDs will go dark and the motherboard will show no power when the system has
completed the shutdown. At this point the power to both the protocol board and the
motherboard has been removed. The only power going into the chassis at that point
is into the Power Supply. This is the indication that you can switch the power switch
to the off position.
If you press and hold the
Front Panel Reset
button down for six seconds or longer, it
forces an abrupt termination and a graceful shutdown may not have completed.

Rear Power Switch
The power switch on the back of the chassis (the
Rear Power
switch) powers on the
chassis, but it does not boot up the operating system. To boot up the operating system,
turn on the
Front Panel Reset
button. When the operating system has booted up, the
System LED changes to green. If the operating system does not boot up automatically,
press the
Front Panel Reset
button.
Use the
Rear Power
switch to remove power from the chassis only when the LED on the
Front Panel Reset
button is solid yellow indicating the system has shut down, and it is
safe to remove power from the chassis.
12G SAS System/Port Indicators
Power Indicator
This LED is green when the power is on. When the Power LED is off, there is no power to
the system such as when the chassis power cable is unplugged and/or the power switch
is turn off.
NOTE
The six second shutdown is not recommended; it is meant to be a last resort option sim-
ilar to pulling the power plug.
