Item # LED
Description
1
Port Speed (1G I/O and
Management ports)
Flashing amber indicates 100 Mb/s, flashing green indicates 1 Gb/s.
Dark can mean 10 Mb/s or no link (check Link/Activity LED).
2
Link/Activity (1G I/O and
Management ports)
Solid green light indicates a link.
Flashing green light indicates activity.

This lights steady green when the battery status is healthy (normal). Red
indicates the battery has failed. A steady amber light indicates there is
not enough reserve power in the battery to backup cache memory if the
power fails.
5
Dirty Cache
Lights steady amber if cache is dirty, meaning that the controller memory
cache contains data, otherwise this is dark. This will blink green when
using the controller locator feature.

(unblinking) green light indicates the controller is operational. This will
blink green when using the controller locator feature. A blinking amber
light indicates a problem. Steady red light indicates controller failure. A
flashing red light means the controller is in Maintenance Mode (offline
while in Maintenance Mode).
