What action should be taken if the STATUS LED on a newly installed module stays orange?

When the STATUS LED on a newly installed module remains orange, it typically indicates that there is an issue with the module's initialization process or its connection to the system. The first step to troubleshoot this situation is to ensure the module is correctly seated in its slot.

A module that is not properly installed may not make adequate electrical connections, preventing it from initializing correctly. Reseating the module can often resolve this problem, as it ensures that all connectors are making proper contact, thus allowing the device to function as intended.

While other options like performing a factory reset, replacing the power supply, or calling technical support may seem viable, they are more advanced measures that typically follow after confirming that the module is firmly and correctly seated. Starting with the simplest solution helps streamline the troubleshooting process and can save time and resources.
