Check the Hardware of the Device

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2026-01-07

When a SANGFOR NGAF hardware device is working normally, the POWER indicator light stays on. The ALARM indicator light stays on for a long time (about one to five minutes) only when the equipment is started due to system loading and is off during the normal operation of the device. If the ALARM indicator light stays solid red during use and the device is not working properly, follow the steps below:

  1. Turn off the device immediately, and switch the system to the standby device.
  2. Restart the device after half an hour. If the ALARM indicator light still stays on after the restart, contact the technical support engineer from Sangfor in time to confirm the device for damage.
  3. The other indicator light on the device is the HA indicator light, which may be on only in the dual state. Suppose the device is deployed in dual-machine hot standby mode. In that case, the HA indicator light of the active device later than the NGAF 6.8 version is on normally. The HA indicator light of the standby device regularly flashes to indicate the current state.
