A minor alarm (amber) indicates a noncritical condition that requires monitoring or maintenance. A minor alarm that is left unchecked might cause interruption in service or performance degradation.

NOTE: The amber glow of the Alarm LED that indicates a minor alarm closely resembles the red glow that indicates a major alarm.

All three LEDs can be lit simultaneously.
