Table 10 GigaStor LEDs and Buttons

LED/Button

Description

 

Individual Drive Activity

These LEDs blink whenever there is activity on the drive in the RAID array. The

 

 

 

lights are red when there is a problem with the drive, otherwise they are green.

System Reset Button

When pushed, the system resets.

 

 

 

 

Alarm Mute Button

When an error or warning is detected the LED blinks and an alarm sounds.

 

 

 

 

Pushing this button silences the alarm. This button is used in conjunction with

 

 

 

the Warning Notice LED.

 

Primary Drive Activity

This LED blinks whenever there is activity on the main drive. This drive is where

 

 

 

the operating system is installed.

 

 

 

Power LED

This LED is lit whenever the unit and motherboard are powered on and running.

Warning Notice LED

When the unit detects a problem such as a fan failure or excessively high

 

 

 

 

temperature, the alarm sounds and this LED blinks. Even if the alarm is silenced,

 

 

 

this LED will blink until the alarm condition is resolved.

 

 

 

 

LAN1 LED

Not used.

 

LAN2 LED

Not used.

 

 

 

Motherboard Power

The motherboard button works only when the power button on the rear of the

Button

GigaStor is on. Press to turn on the GigaStor. If you press and hold this button for

 

 

 

a few seconds, the unit will do a a hard shut down.
