NOTE: The PERC H200 cards do support Drive Status LED operation on PowerEdge systems which include drive status LEDs. Status LED support is only supported for drives which are configured as members of a Virtual Disk or Hot Spare. PERC H200 supported Drive Status LED states may vary from those supported by other hardware based RAID solutions such as the PERC H700 and H800 controllers.

NOTE: Replacing a member of a volume in the Permanently Degraded state will result in the new physical disk being displayed as failed since resynchronization is not possible. This does not indicate an actual failure on the new physical disk.
