64 PCI Express Solid-State Device Support
CAUTION: The identify LED pattern (blink operation) is the same LED pattern as
safe to remove. When you initiate a prepare to remove operation, ensure that your
PCIe SSD is no longer accessible by the system before you physically remove the
PCIe SSD.
CAUTION: To prevent data loss, it is mandatory that you use the Prepare to
Remove task before physically removing a device.
Use the Prepare to Remove task to safely remove a PCIe SSD from the
system. This task causes the status LEDs on the device to blink. You can
safely remove the device from the system under the following conditions after
you use the Prepare to Remove task:
• The PCIe SSD is blinking the safe to remove LED pattern.
• The PCIe SSD is no longer accessible by the system.
Export Log
The log contains debug information of the PCIe SSD and can be useful for
troubleshooting. You can export the reliability log through the Physical
Device Available Tasks drop-down list.
PCIe SSD Sub System Health
It indicates the roll-up health status of physical devices. The individual health
status of the physical devices appears at the respective level.
Backplanes
PCIe SSDs are attached to the PCIe SSD backplane of the system. The
number of supported PCIe SSDs depend on the system.
NOTE: PCIe SSDs must be used with PCIe SSD backplanes. Do not plug in
SAS/SATA devices to a PCIe SSD backplane or vice versa.
Backplane Firmware Version
The backplane firmware version is reported in the Information Configuration
page of the PCIe SSD sub system.
NOTE: The firmware version is the only Backplane property supported for PCIe
SSD.
