Troubleshooting Using Card LEDs
Use the Sun Flash Accelerator F40 PCIe Card LED indicators to determine
the status of the card. The Life, Status, and Activity LEDs, shown in
the following image, provide key status indicators to diagnose card issues.
The following table describes troubleshooting using the LED status indicators:
|

On, steady: Card has
sufficient life remaining for programming and erasing the flash memory. No action required. |
|

On, steady:
Card has approximately 10%, or less, of life remaining for programming and erasing
the flash memory. Plan for replacements. |
|
