Xserve RAID: Link and Activity Lights May Not Be Active Immediately After AC Power Interruption

After an AC power interruption, some indicator lights on the front panel may remain off for a while. The Xserve RAID otherwise works normally, and the lights eventually come back on.
Symptom

Though the Xserve RAID is otherwise working normally, you see these symptoms:


Solution

If the Xserve RAID has the optional Cache Battery Backup Modules, this may occur after an unplanned AC power interruption. You should not see these symptoms if you use the RAID Admin application to shut down prior to turning AC power on and off.

These symptoms do not indicate that anything is wrong with your system. If the RAID otherwise appears to be working normally, you should continue to use it. The lights should return to their normal behavior after a period of use.
