What do the front panel LEDs of the SMA6200 / SMA7200 indicate from top to bottom?

The correct arrangement of the front panel LEDs on the SMA6200 and SMA7200 is significant for understanding the operational status of the device. The top LED indicates HDD activity, which allows administrators to monitor data read/write operations actively occurring on the device. The second LED signifies any alarm conditions, which alert users to potential issues or warnings that need attention. Following that is the Test LED, which indicates the status of diagnostic tests being performed on the system to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Finally, the bottom LED reflects the power status of the device, which shows whether the system is powered on or off.

Recognizing the sequence and function of these indicators is essential for effective monitoring and maintenance of the SonicWall Secure Mobile Access appliances. It helps IT professionals quickly assess the health and operational state of the device without delving into configuration settings or logs.
