NSA 5600/4600/3600 LED Activity
The Power LEDs on the front panel illuminate blue when the
appliance is powered on.
The Test LED or Alarm LED may illuminate and blink while the
appliance performs a series of diagnostic tests. When these
LEDs are no longer illuminated and the Power LEDs remain
steadily lit, the Dell SonicWALL NSA 5600/4600/3600 appliance
is ready for configuration. This typically occurs within a few
minutes of connecting the power.
If the Test or Alarm LEDs remain lit after the NSA 5600/4600/
3600 has completed powering on, restart the appliance by
disconnecting the power, waiting 1 minute, then connecting the
power again.
For a connected MGMT or X0 - X11 port, the Link LED for the
port illuminates green or amber depending on the link
throughput speed, indicating an active connection:
• Amber indicates 1 Gbps
• Green indicates 100 Mbps
• A unlit left LED with the right LED lit indicates 10 Mbps
