Monitoring Your BlackArmor Server

BlackArmor® NAS 440/420 User Guide (Version 3) 40

Using the LEDs to Monitor the Server

1. The System Status LED will indicate when there’s a problem. When it’s blue, the server

and its components are working properly.

If the System Status LED turns amber, a problem has occurred.

2. Check the LAN port LEDs on the back of the server and the disk drive LEDs behind the

door to locate the source of the problem.

3. If one or both LAN port LEDs have gone off, you may have lost your network connection.

If a disk drive LED is amber in color, that disk drive may have failed (or been removed).

See Chapter 6 “Solving Problems” on page 53 for help solving the problem.

Using Email Alerts to Monitor Server Status

Note: Only BlackArmor administrators can set up email alerts.

You can use BlackArmor Manager to notify you by email when the status of the server

changes or when a server setting is modified. You can set BlackArmor Manager to send

email alerts to up to five people. You must have a Seagate Global Access account to receive

email messages.

To set up email alerts, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 17). Email alerts are in the

System menu. For step-by-step instructions for using BlackArmor Manager, refer to the

online Help.
