Table 2-1 DS6000 front panel indicators
2.8 Rear panel
All of the indicators on the DS6000 front panel are mirrored to the rear panel. The rear panel
is pictured in Figure 2-17 on page 39. The same colors and symbols are used for both the
front and rear displays. The rear panel also has several push buttons which are detailed in
Table 2-2 on page 39.
Indicator Symbol Purpose
System Power

Lightning bolt If this indicator is on solid then DC power is present and
the system is powered on. If it is blinking then AC Power
is present but the DS6000 is not powered on. If this
indicator is off then AC power is not present.

pressing the lightpath identify button. It is used to identify
all enclosures that are grouped together in one system.
System
Information
(amber)
Circled letter
i This indicator is normally off. If it is on solid, then an error
has occurred that cannot be fixed by light path
diagnostics. To turn this light off you need to use the GUI
to correct the error condition. This may be as little as to
just view the error log.
System Alert
(amber)
Exclamation mark This indicator is normally off. This indicator turns on solid
when a fault has been detected and will remain on until
the fault condition has been corrected.
Data Cache On
Battery (green)
Battery This indicator is normally off. If it is blinking then the
battery is charging. If it is on solid then AC power has
been lost and the DS6000 has data in cache being
protected by battery.

has occurred within a CRU in the rear of the enclosure
