SATA Storage Enclosures (FS4100 and FS4500)

Silencing the Audible Alarm

In addition to using the Alarm Mute button (see

page 3-2

), you can

also use Adaptec Storage Examiner to silence the audible alarm.

Refer to the

Adaptec Storage Examiner User’s Guide

on the CD for

more information.

SATA I/O Module LEDs

This section provides a description of the eight LEDs used to show
the status of the SATA I/O module.

Figure 5-1 on page 5-2

shows

the LEDs on the I/O module.

The LEDs are numbered as shown below.

For more information, see the LED descriptions provided for your
specific Storage Enclosure:
