page 395 for more information.
The Locator feature is triggered from WebPAM PROe or the CLU. It causes the 
LEDs to blink on and off for one minute. That action helps you find the physical 
component.
Checking Component Installation
To check a component’s installation, remove the component, then reinstall the 
component in its original location. In most cases, this action fixes a bad 
connection and allows VTrak to detect the component. If this action does not 
correct the problem, replace the unit. See page 315 for instructions. 
On VTraks with dual controllers, when one controller’s Status LED is amber and 
the other controller’s Status LED is flashing red, it means that the controller with 
the flashing red LED has entered maintenance mode. See “RAID Controller 
Problems” on page 395.
If the Controller Status LED continues to display amber after startup, contact 
PROMISE Technical Support. See “Contacting Technical Support” on page 435.
The Dirty Cache LED flashes during input/output operation. If the LED shines 
amber and the power is off, there is unsaved data in the cache. Do NOT power 
down the VTrak while this LED is on.
