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

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.

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.
