Starting the drives

Starting the drives

Unless otherwise selected during installation, all drives in the enclosure should automatically start their motors during power on. If this does not occur then one of the following conditions may exist:

vThere may be a power problem (an alarm and power fault indication would normally be present).

vThe drive motors will spin up in a delayed sequence.

Disk drive LEDs

Each drive carrier module has two LEDs, an upper (green) LED and a lower (amber) LED.

vDuring normal operation, the green LED will be on and will flicker to indicate drive activity. It will also be on when no drive is present. It is off when the drive is not spun up.

vDuring normal operation, the amber LED will be:

Off if no drive is present

Off as the drive operates

On if a drive fault exists

Engaging the drive module anti-tamper locks

An anti-tamper lock is installed in each drive carrier handle and can be accessed through the small cutout in the latch section of the handle with a TORX screwdriver. A lock symbol displays in the small opening beside the torque screw when the drive is locked.

1.Carefully insert the TORX screwdriver provided into the cutout in the handle (see 1 in Figure 19).

2.Rotate the screwdriver in a clockwise direction until the lock symbol is visible in the opening beside the key see 2 in Figure 19).

Note: Do not turn the lock more than half a turn; otherwise, the drive carrier may be damaged.

3.Remove the screwdriver.
