The activity LED functionality is controlled directly by the hard drives. This causes the LED to
function differently between SAS and SATA drives. The expected operation is outlined in the
following table.

6.5.2.3 Optional Sixth Hard Drive
The SR2600 is capable of supporting a sixth hot-swap SAS/SATA hard drive with the addition
of an optionally installed backplane add-in board. The sixth drive add-in board assembly
consists of a PCB with power and interface connectors, and a mounting bracket. This allows the
add-in card to slide into a fitted cutout on the existing backplane.
6.5.2.4 Optional Two 2.5-inch Hard Drives
The SR2600 is capable of supporting two additional 2.5-inch non-hot-swap SAS/SATA hard
drives with the addition of an optionally installed drive cage and cables. The 2.5-inch fixed drive
assembly is installed in the default filler panel and consists of a hard drive cage, all required
mounting hardware, and all required cabling.
6.6 Enclosure Management Cabling for Passive Midplane
When using a rack-optimized system with a passive backplane or midplane and an add-in RAID
card, you must install an additional 3-pin cable between the RAID card and the backplane or
midplane to enable fault LED control. The cable is included with your integrated system or the
backplane or midplane kit.
In Intel
®
Server System SR2600URBRP, the 3-pin white HBA CONN connector on the passive
midplane should be used.
