The NSD7800 is equipped with several indicators. The description of

these indicators is as follows.

Hard disk activity indicator

Each hard disk tray has an independent hard disk activity indicator. This

indicator lights up whenever the hard disk is in use.

Hard disk status indicator

Each hard disk tray has two LED status indicators: red and green. The

recommended configuration is to use the red indicator if the hard disk is

not functioning properly and the green indicator if the hard disk is

functioning normally.

System power indicator

The system power indicator lights up whenever the system is powered

on.

System hard disk activity indicator

The system hard disk activity indicator lights up whenever any hard disk

activity within the system is detected.

Network activity indicator

The network activity indicator lights up whenever any data is being

transmitted through the LAN port.

Hard disk tray

There are a total of eight hard disk trays in the system. Each tray can

support one 3.5 inch SATA hard disk. SATA (300 Mbps) or SATA (150

Mbps) may be used in the system. However it is recommended that all

eight hard drives used in the system have identical specifications.

Power button

The power button is located on the front panel. When the power supply

is properly connected, pressing on the power button with activate the

system.

Recovery button

The recovery button is located just beneath the system power indicator.

The button is intentionally designed with small dimensions and recessed

into the front panel to prevent accidentally initiating the recovery

process.

Power supply

The power supply used in the system is a standard 300 Watt ATX power

supply.

System Recovery Overview

System Recovery OverviewSystem Recovery Overview

System Recovery Overview

The NSD7800 comes with a recovery button on the exterior of the

chassis. When the recovery button on the NSD7800 is pressed, the

system will be reset and all other boot priorities will be overridden at

that time.

For example, if a SATA HDD has been set as the first boot device in the

hard drive boot priority list, the bootable recovery device (e.g., USB, CF,

etc) will boot instead when the recovery procedure has been triggered.

Currently, the NSD7800 BIOS supports the following types of bootable

recovery devices:

• USB HDD (USB pen drive is included)

• DOM (Disk On Module)

• CF (Compact Flash) Card

After the recovery procedure has been completed, the system will return

to the normal boot sequence.
