Sun StorEdge[tm] T3 LEDs

In general any fault status will be shown by a flashing amber LED. A solid amber LED implies a download or upgrade in progress while a solid green LED indicates normal operation. Here are the specific codes for each LED type. All of these assume power is on, unless indicated.
