A solid green light, but the drive is still not detected: Please move to step 2.If after 7-10 minutes you still have an amber light, try powering off again, plugging the cables into a different LAN port on the router for the Ethernet cable, and a different outlet for the power supply. If you have a different Ethernet cable to try, try it. If you have a different power supply with output specs of 12V 2A, try it as well. If you still get a solid amber light, move on to step 4. A solid amber light: Make sure you give the drive enough time to boot. There will be a brief solid amber light as part of the boot process. Give the drive a good 7-10 minutes. If you still have a solid amber light after that, try powering the drive off by unplugging the power supply. Once the drive is off, unplug the Ethernet cable and wait about 2 minutes before plugging everything in again.A blinking green light on top of the Central: The Seagate Central is still trying to boot up. Make sure you give the drive 7-10 minutes just in case. Some routers take longer to assign an IP address than others. If the drive still only blinks green, try powering down the Seagate Central by unplugging the power supply, then try connecting the Ethernet cable into a different LAN port on the router, and power the drive back up. If you still only get a blinking green light, try powering the drive back off and try a different Ethernet cable, then power the drive back on. If you still only get a blinking green light, move on to step 4.No lights on the Central's NIC: Make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged all the way through at both ends. Make sure you are connected into a LAN port on your router. If the NIC lights still don't illuminate, try powering down the Central by unplugging the power supply, then connect the drive into a different Ethernet port on your computer and power the Central back up. If you still don't get any lights on the NIC, try using a different Ethernet cable. If the NIC's lights still are not lit, move on to step 4.No lights at all: Make sure everything is plugged in properly. The Ethernet cable should be connected between the Seagate Central and your router. The power supply should be connected between the Seagate Central and a power outlet. If you still have no lights, try connecting the power supply in a different outlet. You can also try another power supply, as long as you have one with the same specifications. The power supply that comes with the Seagate Central has an output of 12V 2A. If you are still not getting any lights, move on to step 4.Seagate recommends waiting a good 7-10 minutes just in case.
After 3-4 minutes, the light should settle down to a solid green. During the boot sequence, the LED on top of the drive will blink a few different colors and patterns, including amber and red. The Seagate Central takes about 3-4 minutes to fully boot. In the event that you are trying to set up the Seagate Central and are unable to find it on the network, Seagate recommends that you take a look at these troubleshooting steps.
