Module Status Indicators
Under normal operation, module indicator LEDs
(one on each side on the back of the module)
should flash once every two seconds. Refer to
Figure 25 .
When troubleshooting, it is important to know
that the module may take up to eight seconds to
change the pattern.

Remove the SATA cable and cycle power to the
module to stop the self-test.
