What should I do if a front panel LED remains amber for more than three minutes after turning on the system (CS/GS/GSx)?
Refer to the table below to troubleshoot the problem. If the problem still exists, contact Technical Support.
If any hardware component needs replacement, you can create a ticket to start an RMA process.
For CS 2060D/3060D/4060D, the two controllers/nodes each have its own front panel LEDs, allowing you to identify which controller encounters a problem.
