Battery pack LEDs

Description
1
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.
2
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. 
3
Amber
Battery Health LED. To interpret the illumination patterns of
this LED, see the following table.
4
Green
BBWC Status LED. To interpret the illumination patterns of
this LED, see the following table.

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 is available, as indicated by LED 2. In the absence of 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

The cache microcontroller is waiting for the host controller to
communicate.
