SC4200 Overview
This document describes the installation process of the SC4200 storage controller
The SC4200 storage controller is Celestica's next-generation 2U rack mount NVMe platform. Supporting up to 24 PCIe NVMe dual-port solid state drives (SSDs) with two redundant computing nodes based on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. SC4200's high performance, low-latency design has the flexibility to work for converged or more malleable composable applications.

Key Components
Canister
There are five LEDs on the rear of each canister to indicate the status. From left to right:
- Canister Power LED (Green)
- On – Canister power is on
- Off – Canister power is off
- Canister Status LED (Green for customization)
- Off – The controller power is off
- Slow Blink @ 1Hz – The controller is currently dumping Data in FHD
- Fast Blink @ 4Hz – The controller is currently dumping Data in FHD
- Solid – The controller is active and joined a cluster
- Canister Fault LED (Amber)
- On – Fault conditions exists in local Canister
- Off – Normal operation
- Canister BBU Status LED (Green)
- Off – BBU charge function is not enabled or BBU is not in discharging status
- Blink @ 1Hz – The BBU is in charging mode
- Solid – The BBU is in full charge status and not discharging
- Canister BBU Fault LED (Amber)
- Off – No faults detected by the controller with the BBU
- Blink @ 1Hz – The BBU is in discharging status
- Solid – Fault condition exists in BBU, It is driven by MCU. System also can make this LED solid on through the I2C bus.
