Amber
Description
BPS LED displays green and amber, with or without an audible
alarm.
Cause
Probable causes may be:
•
Flash upgrade is in progress
•
BPS is in bootloader mode
Workaround
If a flash upgrade is in progress (slow alternating pattern between
green and amber)—After a service pack upgrade procedure or a
BPS module replacement procedure, a BPS firmware upgrade may
be required and is performed automatically by the NAS appliance
after the service pack upgrade reboot. The firmware upgrade
should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete.
NOTE:
During a firmware upgrade, do not disconnect the ACin cable
or USB cable on the BPS module.
If the BPS LED is in bootloader mode (fast alternating pattern
between green and amber):
1
Verify that ACin cable is connected to the BPS.
2
Verify that USB cable between the BPS module and NAS
appliance controller is connected.
3
Reboot the NAS appliance controller connected to the BPS.
