Verifying system status
While your system is powering up you will see green, blue, and amber activity lights blink. You can
verify that your system powered up completely after 10-15 minutes.
Table 4 lists the LEDs that you need to focus on to ensure that the system is powered up correctly.
The
VNX5300 Hardware Information Guide
provides details on all LEDs.
