I have WAE 500 , installed ACNS 5.3.3.8 on it , transferred it to a new location in the datacenter , then at power on i found the following output:

So is this considered hardware failure ?

Is it a WAE-511 or 512? Since you just moved it, I would open it up and see if the flash or if the drive connections are loose. Definitely start with the flash drive (inside above where the floppy would be).

It is 512 , but i have a question :Is the Boot sector is on the flash or the Hard disks ?

Sorry it is 511, i changed the compact flash (it was faulty) , then reimaged the appliance , and now it is working normally.

now the question is there is led beside the compact falsh that is red ,& after i changed the flash it still red although the box now is operating normally?
