the device level (for instance, by pressing the Mute button on the back of the JBOD),
or use the CLI to enter a silence command (see page 179).

When your are notified of a Warning- or Error-level event, use Adaptec Storage

For instance, in this example, an iSCSI Storage Appliance has stopped responding.
To find the source of the problem, follow the yellow Error and red Warning icons,
as shown in the example on page 149.
Once the source of a problem has been identified, you can blink the associated
hardware component (if applicable) to find its physical location. See page 109.
