Applying Power 
1.
Plug the power cord into an appropriate power outlet.
2.
Turn on the power switch on the rear of the appliance next 
to the power cords. 
The Power LEDs 
 on the front panel light up blue when you 
plug in the SonicWALL NSA . 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 is ready for configuration. This typically 
occurs within a few minutes of applying power to the appliance. 
Note:
If the Test or Alarm LEDs remain lit after the 
SonicWALL NSA appliance has been booted, restart 
the appliance by cycling power.
