HardDrive Carrier LEDs

Each Serial ATA drive has both a green and a red LED.

Green:

Each Serial ATA drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green LED (on the front

of the SATA drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A connection to the SATA backplane enables this LED
to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions
on replacing failed SATA drives.

Red:

The red LED to indicate an SATA drive failure. If one of the SATA drives fail, you should be

notified by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing
failed SATA drives.
