Hard-Drive Indicator Codes
The hard-drive carriers have two indicators—the drive-activity indicator and
the drive-status indicator. See Figure1-2. In RAID configurations, the drive-
status indicator lights to indicate the status of the drive. In non-RAID
configurations, only the drive-activity indicator lights; the drive-status
indicator is off.
Figure 1-2. Hard-Drive Indicators
Table1-3 lists the drive indicator patterns for RAID hard drives. Different
patterns are displayed as drive events occur in the system. For example, if a
hard drive fails, the "drive failed" pattern appears. After the drive is selected
for removal, the "drive being prepared for removal" pattern appears, followed
