Well, according to some info I found, the system LED flashing like this indicates it's panicked or crashed. Assuming the drives are OK, it looks like a panic, and according to the docs, that means either hardware or software.

Anyone had any experience with this situation? I've pulled it from the rack and am thinking of turning it back on. I checked the case and it doesn't look like it overheated. The only thing is that I don't know if it's going to do a disk check. Nothing was in use at the time, this one is used strictly for nightly backups. It's just that it would take five hours to run and I don't want to leave it running overnight until I can see if it comes back up OK.
