Description
1
Power button
Press this button to power on or power off the appliance. Powering off the appliance with this button puts the appliance in standby power mode. To completely power off the appliance, you must disconnect the AC power cords from both power supplies.
2
Reset button
Functions identically to the UID button on the M-300 Appliance Front Panel.
Use the UID feature to help you locate the appliance when you move from the front to the back of the equipment rack where the appliance is installed. When you push the UID button to enable the UID feature, both the front-panel System information LED and the back-panel UID LED illuminate bright blue to help you locate the appliance when you move between opposite sides of the equipment rack. Push the UID button again to deactivate these LEDs.

Power LED
Solid green indicates that the appliance is powered on.
4
Power failure LED
Solid red indicates that either a power supply failed or that there is no power source connected to a power supply.
5
Hard-disk drive (HDD) LED
Blinking yellow indicates IDE channel activity (SAS/SATA drive) on the front log drives.
6
System information (overheat and UID) LED
  • Solid red—An overheat condition occurred.
  • Blinking red at the rate of one blink per second (1Hz)—A fan failure occurred.
  • Blinking red at the rate of one blink every four seconds (.25Hz)—One of the two power supplies is not providing power to the appliance (possibly because a power supply failed or because there is no power source connected to the power supply).
  • Solid blue—The UID feature is activated (see the UID button description for the M-700 Appliance Back Panel.)
7
Hard-disk drives (HDDs)
Disk drive bays and HDDs used for log storage. From left to right (starting at the top-left), the drive bays are labeled A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D1, D2, E1, E2, F1, and F2. By default, the M-700 ships with four HDDs installed in A1, A2, B1, and B2. You can install up to eight additional drives (four additional RAID 1 pairs) in the remaining drive bays to increase log storage capacity.
Each pair of drives is in a RAID 1 configuration. For example, A1/A2 is a RAID 1 pair and B1/B2 is a RAID 1 pair.
For details on storage capacity, refer to the Panorama Datasheet. For details on adding additional storage to the appliance, refer the Panorama Administrator’s Guide on the Technical Documentation Portal for the release version running on your appliance.

Hard-disk drive (HDD) LEDs
Status LEDs—two for each log drive:
  • Top LED—Flashing blue indicates drive activity.
  • Bottom LED—Solid red indicates a log drive failure.
