Activity Lights

The ArmadaStation EM has three activity lights.

Top and Bottom MultiBay Activity Lights

The top and bottom MultiBay activity lights are located on the front/right corner of the ArmadaStation EM. These lights turn on when information from a removable drive inserted in the ArmadaStation EM MultiBays is accessed.

Power/Suspend Light

The power/suspend light is located on the front/right corner of the ArmadaStation EM. This light turns on when the system (computer and ArmadaStation EM) is turned on; this light blinks when the system is placed in Suspend.

MultiBays

The ArmadaStation EM features two MultiBays. The MultiBays support the same drives that are used in the E and M Series computer MultiBay, including hard drives (installed into a MultiBay hard drive adapter), CD-ROM drives, DVD-ROM drives, diskette drives (bottom MultiBay only), and SuperDisk LS-120 drives. The bottom MultiBay can also be used to charge MultiBay battery packs.
