# What do NovaSeq 6000 status bar colors mean?
The NovaSeq 6000 instrument includes a light-emitting diode (LED) status bar beneath the flow cell compartment. The status bar provides an at-a-glance indication of the instrument state.
* **Green**: ready to sequence
* **Blue**: processing
* **Orange**: needs attention
Other colors not mentioned here, such as white or pink, do not correspond to an instrument status. If seen, Illumina Technical Support recommends a power cycle of the instrument to reset communication for the LED status bar.
* For further information, search for Knowledge Base article **How to Power Cycle the NovaSeq 6000 System**.
See the [NovaSeq 6000 Sequencing System Guide](https://support.illumina.com/downloads/novaseq-6000-system-guide-1000000019358.html) for additional information.
