Readynas 424 all 4 blue lights on bright
I do not think these lit like this before? I logged in and the Admin page says healthy so all must be good. Log looks good. But all 4 front blue lights are on very brightly in a vertical X patte...
So perhaps this was a stupid question but this week my RN 424 turned on and no blue cross on front. Is there a pressure sensitive switch or something I touched? Any input at all appreciated. Log shows no issues.
Thanks,
BJB
I'm not sure what you asking.
Is the question aimed at why the NAS turned on?
StephenB ,
My NAS typically boots up once a week automatically for a backup session. The blue lights on the front floor, one vertical, one horizontal do not usually stay on.
Last week, those front lights stayed on until its scheduled shutdown the next day. One vertical, one horizontal blue light, lit up the room like a night light.
Yesterday it booted up and no blue front lights stayed on. Unlike last week. I made no setting changes I am aware of.
So....are the lights on or off by default and/or is there some software setting or soft button on the unit that turns those lights on and off.
Thanks as always,
BJB
My NAS are all in the basement, and it's been a while since I watched my RN526 or RN524 power up.
Some OS-6 NAS have a proximity sensor that wakes the status display - but I don't think the RN424 is one of them. I wouldn't be worried about the cross not being on, as long as you can access the status display.
