Hard-Drive Indicator Codes
The hard-drive carriers have two indicators—the drive-activity indicator and the drive-
status indicator. See Figure 1-2. In RAID configurations, the drive-status indicator lights
to indicate the status of the drive. In non-RAID configurations, only the drive-activity
indicator lights; the drive-status indicator is off.
Figure 1-2. Hard-Drive Indicators
Hard drive indicator lights are similar to the following picture:
1. drive-status indicator (green and amber)
2. green drive-activity indicator
Table 1-3 lists the drive indicator patterns for RAID hard drives. Different patterns are
displayed as drive events occur in the system. For example, if a hard drive fails, the
"drive failed" pattern displays. After the drive is selected for removal, the "drive being
prepared for removal" pattern displays, followed by the "drive ready for insertion or
removal" pattern. After the replacement drive is installed, the "drive being prepared for
operation" pattern displays, followed by the "drive online" pattern.
