Server component identification 85
Online/activity
LED (green)
Fault/UID LED
(amber/blue)
Interpretation
On Off The drive is online, but it is not active currently.
Flashing regularly
(1 Hz)
Amber, flashing
regularly (1 Hz)
Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may
terminate the current operation and cause data loss.
The drive is part of an array that is undergoing capacity
expansion or stripe migration, but a predictive failure alert has
been received for this drive. To minimize the risk of data loss,
do not replace the drive until the expansion or migration is
complete.
Flashing regularly
(1 Hz)
Off
Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may
terminate the current operation and cause data loss.
The drive is rebuilding, or it is part of an array that is
undergoing capacity expansion or stripe migration.
Flashing

regularly (1 Hz)
The drive is active, but a predictive failure alert has been
received for this drive. Replace the drive as soon as possible.
Flashing
irregularly
Off The drive is active, and it is operating normally.
Off Steadily amber
A critical fault condition has been identified for this drive, and
the controller has placed it offline. Replace the drive as soon as
possible.
Off
Amber, flashing
regularly (1 Hz)
A predictive failure alert has been received for this drive.
Replace the drive as soon as possible.
Off Off
The drive is offline, a spare, or not configured as part of an
array.
Fan locations
The server is shipped with six system fans. Each fan is hot-swappable and independently controlled. The
fans are distributed into two zones to control thermal conditions within the server.
• Zone 1 contains four fans (three, plus one redundant) to control the temperature in the processor
module area.
• Zone 2 contains two fans (one, plus one redundant) to control the temperature in the hard drive bay
area.
