HDD

Indicates IDE channel activity. On the 2042G-TRF/6RF this light indicates SAS and/ or DVD-ROM drive activity when flashing.

Power

Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

3-4 SAS Drive Carrier LEDs

Each SAS drive carrier has two LEDs:

Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SAS drive carrier indicates drive activity. A connection to the backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.

Red: The SES2 compliant backplane activates the red LED to indicate a drive failure. If one of the SAS drives fail, you should be notified by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed SAS drives.
