The Power LEDs on the front panel light up blue when you

plug in the SonicWALL NSA E6500. The Alarm LED may

light up and the Test

LED will light up and may blink while

the appliance performs a series of diagnostic tests.

When the Power LEDs are lit and the Test LED is no longer lit, the SonicWALL NSA E6500 is ready for configuration. This typically occurs within a few minutes of applying power to the appliance.

Alert: When disconnecting power, be sure to remove both power cords from the unit.
