Chapter 3: System Interface

Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

3-4 SCSI Drive Carrier LEDs

Each SCSI drive carrier has two LEDs.

Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SCSI drive carrier indicates drive activity. A connection to the SCSI SCA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.

Red: A SAF-TE compliant backplane is needed to activate the red LED to indicate a drive failure. (A SAF-TE compliant SCSI backplane is optional on the 5013C-M8.) If one of the SCSI drives fail, you should be notified by your system management software. Please refer to Section 6-4 for instructions on replacing failed SCSI drives.
