Orange solid status light on Synology NAS? [SOLVED]
Q. What does a solid orange status light on my Snology DS 1813+ mean? -Sean T.
Solid/static Orange Status LED
A. Great question! Here are the meanings of the status lights
- Green Static Status LED
- Volume Normal
- Orange Static Status LED
- Available volume space < 1GB
- Available volume space < 1 %
- Orange Blinking Status LED
- Volume degraded or crashed
- DSM not installed
- Green/Orange Alternating Status LED
- No internal disk
- No Color / Status LED Off
- HDD Hibernation
In your instance, it would appear that volume space is less than 1GB or less than 1% of volume space is available.
I hope this helps! 🙂
Perfect. Thank you.
Thank you Sean, enjoy your Diskstation! 🙂
I have switched from mac to pc. I own a synology 710+ disk. Now the status LED is flashing Orange. The Lan LED is flashing green. The Hdd1 og hdd2 is solid green. The disk doesn`t show up in Explorer.
How do I fix it?
Dear Frode,
Thank you for your comment. Do you still have a PC that you can use to test the 710+?
Judging from the orange flashing lights, the 710+ appears to have a degraded volume or an issue with the DSM software. Hopefully, you can access the web interface via your web browser and the 710+’s IP address or hostname. If it will load, the web interface should allow you to evaluate exactly what is going on.
As a last-ditch effort, it *should* be possible to individually mount the drives in an external enclosure and recover your data.
Sorry to not be of more help!
Best regards,
-J.D.
