Online/activity	Fault/UID LED	Interpretation
LED (green)	(amber/blue)

Flashing regularly	Off	Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may terminate the
(1 Hz)		current operation and cause data loss.
		The drive is rebuilding, erasing, or it is part of an array that is
		undergoing capacity expansion or stripe migration.

Flashing irregularly	Amber, flashing	The drive is active, but a predictive failure alert has been received
	regularly (1 Hz)	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	A predictive failure alert has been received for this drive. Replace
	regularly (1 Hz)	the drive as soon as possible.
Off	Off	The drive is offline, a spare, or not configured as part of an array.

Identifying the status of an HP SmartDrive

HP SmartDrives are the latest HP drive technology, and they are supported beginning with ProLiant Gen8 servers and server blades. The HP SmartDrive is not supported on earlier generation servers and server blades. Identify an HP SmartDrive by its carrier, shown in the following illustration.

When a drive is configured as a part of an array and connected to a powered-up controller, the drive LEDs indicate the condition of the drive.

Item	LED	Status	Definition

1	Locate	Solid blue	The drive is being identified by a host application.
		Flashing blue	The drive carrier firmware is being updated or requires an update.

2	Activity ring	Rotating green	Drive activity
		Off	No drive activity

3	Do not remove	Solid white	Do not remove the drive. Removing the drive causes one or more of
			the logical drives to fail.
		Off	Removing the drive does not cause a logical drive to fail.

4	Drive status	Solid green	The drive is a member of one or more logical drives.
		Flashing green	The drive is rebuilding or performing a RAID migration, stripe size
			migration, capacity expansion, or logical drive extension, or is
			erasing.
