Contents 1 LED Description 1.1 Power LED (green) 1.2 LINK/ACT LED 1.3 DISK FULL LED (red) 1.4 DIAG LED (red)

LED Description

Power LED (green)

on	Normal: Timed shutdown timer has not been activated
Blink	At bootup, prior to ppc_uartd starting, Just prior to flash memory being updated
Blink Slowly	Timeed shutdown has been established

If ppc_uartd does not start for some reason (or started late due to hardware/software issues), the Power LED will continue blinking. After five minutes the DIAG LED will continuously blink 6 times (hard drive failure) and then shut the box down.

LINK/ACT LED

orange	10BASE-T
green	100BASE-TX
blue	1000BASE-T (Kurobox HG only)

DISK FULL LED (red)

on	Hard drive full
blink	Writing to Flash ROM

DIAG LED (red)

3 times blink	Partition warning: /dev/hda3 is not mounted on /mnt. You can ignore it.
4 times blink	Problem with the cooling fan - probably rotor jammed.
5 times blink	Problem with Flash ROM*
6 times blink	Hard drive not found, or ppc_uartd not running.
7 times blink	Problem with the RAM, Ethernet Controller, or IDE Host Controller.
blink many times	Writing to Flash ROM.

* It may be possible to recover from a Flash ROM error by pulling out the power cord and trying to boot again the next day.
