If you were to walk in a Datacenter and see an EMC Symmetrix V-Max for the first time, you will end up giving it a look.
It’s those Blue Flashy lights in the front of the unit that just catches your eyes.
It gives the Symmetrix V-Max the Sleek and Sexy look..
So these lights are USB powered through USB cables, a very
simple idea though a genius one. Enterprise class arrays and the use of
USB ports at the backend of these systems keep these Blue flashy lights
on.
Here are the pictures of those USB connectors from the front. Believe it or not, they are redundant as well.
As Storage Anarchist says in his Blog post “The
first thing you’ll probably notice about the new Symmetrix V-Max is the
packaging – and specifically the glossy-black panel with the blazing
blue LED light bar that underscores the name Symmetrix on every door.
The design team had a lot of fun blending the modern gloss-black look of
today’s popular personal communications devices with the image of
stability and security that customers expect from Symmetrix.”

(Look at the USB cable connectors that go on the front door, 2 of them right above the blue light)
Yea that is right,,,,,,,,,, this post was about the Blue lights on the Symmetrix V-Max Systems 
Oh…the big question, will it call home through the EMC ESRS Gateway if one of these Blue lights fail?
