1 Power supply LED

The power supply has a multi-color status LED.
StatusColorDescription
OnGreenThe power supply is connected to the AC power source.
RedThe power supply is failed or the AC power source is removed.
OffNoneThe system is off.

2 Controller activity LED

The controller activity LED provides the status of ONTAP running on the controller.
StatusColorDescription
BlinkingGreenThe controller is running ONTAP. The length of time the light remains on is proportional to the controller activity.
OffNoneONTAP is not running on the controller.

3 Controller attention LED

The controller attention LED indicates that there is an issue with a controller. Check other LEDs and event logs to determine the cause of the issue.
StatusColorDescription
OnAmberThe controller has a fault.
OffNoneThe controller is operating normally.

4 Controller location LED

The controller location LED is a blue LED that helps to show the location of a specific controller in a system.

5 NVMEM discharge LED

The NVMEM discharge LED provides the status of ONTAP running on the controller.
StatusColorDescription
BlinkingGreenNVMEM destage events are occurring.
SolidGreenNVMEM destage events completed successfully.
OffNoneThe system is running normally and the NVMEM is ready if ONTAP is running.
