We have an F760. Its head unit has dual power supplies. Each power supply has a green light and an amber light. It is my understanding that the green light indicates that it is receiving (and delivering) power, and that the amber light indicates a problem. Both power supplies have both green and amber lights on, and the F760 seems to work.
What *does* the amber light indicate? Our NetApp support engineer didn't know.
We've had some problems with this machine that required us to replace the motherboard. Shortly thereafter, we had to replace it again. Is the amber light an indication that we have a problem with our power somewhere?
Thanks,

Could be...
Do you have an RPS hooked up? ISTR that could also cause the condition you're seeing under the right circumstances.

According to the F700 series hardware guide, the amber LED indicates that that the AC input is good. The green LED indicates that the DC output is good. So, both of these lights should be on.
