If the system status LED is anything other than solid green, you must investigate.
Environmental or component issues such as the following can trigger a status
change:
■ An excessively hot or an excessively cold equipment room.
■ AC current too high.
■ AC current too low.
■ Current surge from the AC power source affects operation.
■ Open or damaged chassis cover can cause overheating.
■ Components drifting out of specifications.
To determine why the system status LED shows issues
1
Access the NetBackup Appliance Web Console and click Monitor > Hardware.

Review the alerts page. If CPU-related alerts are shown, do the following:
■ Turn off the unit immediately.
■ Contact Symantec Technical Support and arrange for a replacement unit.
■ Keep system intact until the new unit arrives.

If Over temperature or current alerts are shown, go to the equipment room
where the unit is installed. Do the following:
■ Check the room for temperature abnormalities.
■ Make sure that other sources of heat do not heat the unit. Check equipment
that is installed on, under, or next to the unit.
■ Check the unit for loose or unplugged power cables.
■ Make sure that the air vents are not blocked (minimum 3 inches of
clearance). Check the front and back of the unit.
