Green System Power LED. This LED is on when the system is
powered up and 12 V system power is available. This
power supply is used to maintain the battery charge and
provide supplementary power to the cache microcontroller.
Green Auxiliary Power LED. This LED is on when 3.3V auxiliary
voltage is detected. The auxiliary voltage is used to
preserve BBWC data and is available any time that the
system power cords are connected to a power supply.
Amber Battery Health LED. To interpret the illumination patterns of
this LED, see the following table.

Flashing (2 Hz) The system is powered down, and the cache contains data that has not
yet been written to the drives. Restore system power as soon as
possible to prevent data loss.
Data preservation time is extended any time that 3.3 V auxiliary
power, battery power alone preserves the data. A fully-charged
battery can normally preserve data for at least 2 days.
The battery lifetime also depends on the cache module size. For more
information, see the controller QuickSpecs on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com).

The cache microcontroller is waiting for the host controller to
communicate.
Flashing (1 Hz) The battery pack is below the minimum charge level and is being
charged. Features that require a battery (such as write cache, capacity
expansion, stripe size migration, and RAID migration) are unavailable
temporarily until charging is complete. The recharge process takes
between 15 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the initial capacity of
the battery.
On The battery pack is fully charged, and posted write data is stored in the
cache.
Off The battery pack is fully charged, and no posted write data exists in
the cache.
Flashing (1 Hz) An alternating green and amber flashing pattern indicates that the
cache microcontroller is executing from within its boot loader and
receiving new flash code from the host controller.
— A short circuit exists across the battery terminals or within the battery
The life expectancy of a battery pack is typically more than 3 years.
