Troubleshooting

Powering Down the Unit

Once you press the power button, you should see a flood of activity on the disks as the system prepares to shut down. If you have a monitor connected, you’ll also see a bunch of shutdown messages. Generally shutdown will take between 30-120 seconds. If it takes longer than a few minutes, inform the support agent.

Unplugging the power cables on a model 820 will turn off the LEDs on the power supplies. During normal operation, they will light green. When shut off, they will light yellow. And when unplugged, they’ll fade to black.

Removing the Faulty Drive(s)

EEN chassis do not require the use of any tools to remove a drive. Do not use any tools on the unit.
