appliance into an appropriate power outlet.
For further information regarding power requirements, refer to
Product Safety and Regulatory Information, page 57 of this
document.
NSA 6600 LED Activity
The Power LEDs on the front panel illuminate blue when the
appliance is powered on.
The Test LED or Alarm LED may illuminate and blink while the
appliance performs a series of diagnostic tests. When these
LEDs are no longer illuminated and the Power LEDs remain
steadily lit, the Dell SonicWALL NSA 6600 appliance is ready
for configuration. This typically occurs within a few minutes of
turning on the power.
If the Test or Alarm LEDs remain lit after the NSA 6600 has
completed powering on, restart the appliance by disconnecting
the power, waiting 1 minute, then connecting the power again.
For a connected MGMT or X0 - X7 port, the Link LED for the
port illuminates green or amber depending on the link
throughput speed, indicating an active connection:
• Amber indicates 1 Gbps
• Green indicates 100 Mbps
• A unlit left LED with the right LED lit indicates 10 Mbps
