Serial Development Connector
The Serial Development connector is only intended for development and debugging of BroadNAS hardware
and software and not intended to be used for a production product. There should not be a connector on the
outside of any production BroadNAS products.
Front Panel Features
The front panel of the BroadNAS has the indicator lights, removable drive trays, and buttons for user
interaction. Much more information and control are available through the web configuration interface, but the
front panel still provides a useful additional interface.
Drive Locked Status Light
There is one red Drive Locked Status light for each disk. If the light is on, the corresponding disk is locked into
the system by the software and should not be removed until it is unlocked and the light goes out.
Note: Some high-end BroadNAS models have devices to physically prevent the disk from being
removed when the software considers the disk to be locked, but the word locked in this sense is not
the same. In these models, the disk is physically prevented from being removed exactly when the drive
locked status light is on or when a user physically uses the key to lock a drive in place.
