NSS LEDs

Linksys Small Business NSS4000 and NSS6000 Series Network Storage System Administration Guide
The LEDs on the front and the back of the NSS chassis help you troubleshoot a
variety of conditions on the NSS, from normal operating conditions, alerts, to
serious error conditions. The Reset button lets you restore the network defaults in
situations where you can no longer log into the configuration interface.

Power LED (Front Panel)

The Power LED shows whether the NSS is receiving power and is functioning
properly. These are the LED colors and their meanings:
•
Solid Yellow: The NSS is powered on and the boot loader is currently
running. The boot loader runs for approximately 10 seconds when the NSS
first starts up, and then the LED blinks green.
This condition also occurs if the firmware upgarde fails (although in this
case, the LED remains in a solid yellow condition until the user clicks OK
from the System Details page following an unsuccessful upload. After the
user clicks OK, the system reboots using the current version of the
firmware.
•
Blinking Yellow: The network configuration factory defaults are being reset.
When resetting the network defaults, hold down the Reset button until you
see the Power LED flash yellow rapidly.
•
Solid Green: The NSS is powered up and finished booting.
•
Blinking Green: The NSS is either booting up or shutting down.
•
Alternating Yellow & Green: The firmware update is currently in progress.
•
Off: The NSS is either disconnected from a power source or has finished
the shutdown process and can be safely disconnected from a
power source.
