DroboPro/DroboElite Lights
One of your Drobo storage device’s many benefits is a series of lights
that tell you everything you need to know, without your having to
launch any application software on your computer. Remember, both
DroboPro and DroboElite are designed to actively monitor and protect
your data at all times. DroboPro/DroboElite will automatically take any
necessary actions whenever possible and display the following lights:
Drive Lights Green: No action is required. All drives are healthy.
Solid Yellow: Add a drive or replace the current drive
with a larger drive soon. DroboElite is running out of
disk space.
Blinking Yellow and Green: Do not remove these
drives or power down. DroboElite is working to
protect your data.
Solid Red: Add a drive or replace the current drive
with a larger drive immediately. DroboElite is
critically low on space.
Blinking Red: Replace this drive immediately. This
drive has failed and needs to be replaced.
Power Light Green: The power is on and DroboElite is ready.
Yellow: DroboElite is in standby mode.
Red: DroboElite has overheated. Disconnect the data
cable and then the power cable. Let it cool down and
then restart.
Activity Light Blinking Green: Data is actively being transferred
between your computer and DroboElite.
Capacity Gauge
Blue: Displays the percentage of your DroboElite that
is full, in 10% increments.
