LED DOES NOT ILLUMINATE ON RED STATION
SYMPTOM
The LED on your RED STATION REDMAG 1.8" or RED STATION REDMAG 1.8" (Mini) does not illuminate.
EXPLANATION
Depending on your RED STATION type and the data cable, your RED STATION may be functioning as expected.
When you connect a RED STATION REDMAG 1.8" or RED STATION REDMAG 1.8" (Mini) to your computer via
a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 connection, the LED illuminates when you insert a REDMAG 1.8" SSD into the SSD slot.
When you remove the SSD, the LED turns off. However, the LED will illuminate again when you re-insert the
SSD, and the RED STATION should function as expected.
If the LED does not illuminate when you insert the REDMAG 1.8" SSD in the RED STATION and the
REDMAG 1.8" SSD does not mount to your computer, go to
“Media Does Not Mount to Computer” on page
.
