Controller enclosure power indicator during OS boot → Blinking green at 2 Hz; Disk module location indicator → Blinking yellow at 2 Hz; Controller enclosure location indicator → Blinking blue at 2 Hz; Controller enclosure major/critical alarm indicator → Steady yellow

Hardware indicators provide a direct physical diagnostic mechanism during OceanProtect maintenance. The four states represent different operational meanings rather than interchangeable fault conditions.

A blinking green power indicator at 2 Hz represents the controller enclosure progressing through its boot process. A blinking yellow disk-location indicator at 2 Hz identifies the specific disk selected for physical location. A blinking blue enclosure-location indicator at 2 Hz similarly helps maintenance personnel identify the correct controller enclosure in a rack. A steady yellow alarm indicator identifies a major or critical alarm condition requiring investigation.

Huawei emphasizes that abnormal hardware indicators are a primary method for locating failing FRUs and CRUs and should be correlated with DeviceManager alarm information. The OceanProtect X6000/X8000 architecture also uses redundant, serviceable hardware components, including controllers, BBUs, power supplies, and interface modules, making correct physical fault identification essential during maintenance.
