Disk Drive and Power Supply LED Behavior

DS2300 / DS2405
Figure 2: Disk Drive LEDs
Note The green Activity LED (A in Figure 2) should be on while the disk spins up and then turn off. The
green Activity LED (A) will blink with I/O activity to the disk. An amber light (B in Figure 2) that is on
briefly when a component first comes on is normal. If this light stays on more than a couple of seconds, a
fault has been detected. See Table 2 for a full list of disk LED behaviors.
If you observe different results, further Troubleshooting may need to be carried out. (See Chapter 4 of
the
HP StorageWorks Disk System 2300 User’s Guide or HP StorageWorks Disk System 2405 User’s Guide
for troubleshooting procedures.)
