8. Check the hard disk drive LEDs:
v
When the drive is ready for use, the green activity LED and the amber status
LED are off.
v If the amber status LED is lit and not flashing, remove the drive from the unit
and wait 10 seconds; then, reinstall the drive. If the status LED is flashing,
the drive is rebuilding.
Controller management information: In some cases, the RAID controller automatically
resets the drive to the Hot Spare or Rebuild state. If the drive state does not change
automatically (the amber LED stays lit), see your RAID controller management
documentation for information about manually changing the state of the drive from the
current state to another state, such as Hot Spare or Ready. The amber LED should turn off
within 10 seconds after the drive state changes.
