The media server has the LEDs shown in LEDs on front and back of media server:

LEDs on front and back of media server

Testing the Media Server LEDs����

You can test some of the LEDs on the front of the media server through the media server Web interface. This makes sure that the Active/Standby and U2 LEDs (on the front of the media server) and the transmit LED on the DAJ1 duplication memory card (on the back of the media server) are controllable and not burned out and that the media server is not hung.

NOTE: The U2 LED is controlled by the S8700 Media Server but does not have an assigned function.

The other LEDs are exclusively under hardware control so will not flash during the test. Refer to the OEM user documentation that comes with the media server for information on those LEDs.

During the 1-minute test, the Active/Standby and U2 LEDs alternate from being on (amber) for 1 second and off for 1 second off. The transmit LED cycles from red (on 1�second, off 1�second) to green (on 1�second, off 1�second).

Using the media server Web interface, test the LEDs on the front of the media server:

1. Under Diagnostics, click Test Server LEDs.
2. On the Test Server LEDs screen, click Test LEDs.
3. Observe the Active/Standby and U2 LEDs on your media server and the transmit LED on your duplication card (back of media server) to ensure they are blinking.

Interpreting the test results

An abnormal condition is indicated if an LED shows any of the following flashing patterns.

• LED flashes red. This indicates that the green element is either burned out or not controlled.
• LED flashes green. This indicates that the red element is either burned out or not controlled.
• LED flashes between red and amber. This indicates that the red element is stuck on.
• LED flashes between green and amber. This indicates that the green element is stuck on.
• LED stays amber continuously. This indicates that either the media server is hung or the LED controller is stuck.
• LED stays off continuously. This indicates that the media server is hung or powered off, the controller is stuck, or the media server is using a new or different LED controller.

If the media server is hung, you do not need to do anything. It should automatically reboot and fix itself. If the media server does not reboot itself, power it down and then reboot it.

If an LED is clearly stuck or has a burned out element, ignore the indicators until you can conveniently replace the media server.

The LEDs on the back of the media server

There are 2 sets of LEDs on the back of the media server: 1 set for the 4-port NIC card and 1 set for the fiber optic cable used for memory shadowing. The GREEN LEDs to the right of the NIC ports light up when they are in use. The GREEN LEDs to the right of the fiber optic cable indicate that the cables are connected correctly.
