Hard-Drive Indicator Codes

Each hard-drive carrier has two indicators: a busy indicator and a status indicator (see Figure 2-6). The indicators provide information on the status of the respective hard drive.

Figure 2-6. Hard-Drive Indicators

Table 2-5 lists the drive status indicator codes. Different codes display as drive events occur in the system. For example, in the event of a hard-drive failure, the "drive fail" code appears. After the drive is selected for removal, the "preparing for removal" code appears. After the replacement drive is installed, the "preparing for operation, drive online" code appears.

The drive-busy indicator signifies whether the hard drive is active on the SCSI bus. This indicator is controlled by the hard drive.

Table 2-5. Hard-Drive Status Indicator Codes

Drive being prepared for operation, drive online	Steady green
Drive being identified, prepared for removal, or drive offline	Blinks green three times per second at equal intervals
Drive rebuilding	Blinks green once per second
Drive failed	Steady amber

NIC Indicator Codes

The NIC on the back panel has an indicator that provides information on network activity and link status (see Figure 2-7). Table 2-6 lists the NIC indicator codes.
