System Interface 
 
 
Overview 
 
There are several LEDs on the control panel and one on the Serial ATA drive carrier to 
keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity 
and health of specific components. There are also two buttons on the chassis control 
panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate 
response you may need to take. 
 
Control Panel Buttons 
 
There are two push-button buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are (in order 
from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button. 
 
Button Description 
Reset 
The reset switch reboots the system. 
Power 
This is the main power switch, which is used to apply or turn off the main system 
power. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but 
keeps standby power supplied to the system. 
 
Control Panel LEDs 
 
The control panel located on the front of the StorTrends 1100 chassis has five LEDs. 
These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. 
This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective 
action you may need to take. 
 
LED Description 
Overheat Indicates 
an 
overheat condition in the chassis. This may be caused by cables 
obstructing the airflow in the system, or the ambient room temperature being too 
warm. You should also check to make sure that the chassis cover is installed and 
that all fans are present and operating normally. Finally, check the air seals for 
damage. The air seals are located under the blower fan and beneath the frame 
cross section that separates the drive bay area from the motherboard area of the 
chassis. 
NIC2 
Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when flashing. 
NIC1 
Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when flashing. 
HDD 
Channel activity for all HDDs. This light indicates CD-ROM and SATA drive 
activity when flashing. 
Power 
Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED 
should normally be illuminated when the system is operating. 
 
Serial ATA Drive Carrier LEDs 
 
On the front of each Serial ATA drive carrier is a green LED. When illuminated, it 
indicates drive activity. A connection to the Serial ATA backplane enables this LED to 
blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.
