To determine if a disk drive is properly inserted
1
Locate the system drive that does not register in the monitoring interface.
2
Inspect the drive cover and the bay. Look for signs of damage, loose particles,
twisted parts or other abnormalities.
3
Check the activity LED (the bottom LED) on the left side of the drive cover.
4
Verify that the drive is properly inserted in the bay. Reinsert the drive if
necessary.
5
If the activity LED is still amber, replace with a new drive from Symantec.
6
Make sure that the new drive fits correctly.
7
Wait approximately three minutes for the drive to spin up.
8
Check to see if the drive is scannable by the administrative Web UI, shell
menu, or the Symantec Remote Management tool.

If the fault persists, escalate as necessary.
Troubleshooting appliance power supply problems
The NetBackup Appliance has two, modular power supplies for high availability
operation. During normal operation, the power supplies are configured for active
standby operation. In this configuration, one power supply is used to provide
power for the entire system and the other is held in reserve. Should the active
power supply fail, the system automatically shifts the load to the power supply
that is held in reserve.
Caution:
To ensure power to the system in not interrupted, periodically check the
reserve power supply. Make sure that the unit is turned on and operating properly.
Power supply modules are easily accessed from the rear of the unit. They are
installed side-by-side on the left-hand side of the unit. Each contains an AC socket,
switch, LED, and fan. The LED on the power supply provides information about
the power supply status. See
“About the LED on the appliance power supply”
on page 37.
