6.3. LED Indicators
The LaCie hard disk MAX has three LED indicators – a cool blue
strip on the front of the drive and two on the back (one for each
drive) which indicate the current state of the hard disk MAX or
problems it may be experiencing.
In normal use:
✦
Front LED strip is solid blue.
✦
Rear LEDs are solid blue when the hard disk MAX is inactive
and blinking during drive activity.
If the front LED strip turns red:
✦
The fan may be malfunctioning.
✦
A drive may be improperly inserted.
•
Look at the drive LEDs on the back.
•
If one of the drive LEDs is blinking red and blue, make
sure the drive is properly inserted. Follow the steps in sec-
tion
5.5. Removing and Installing Drives
to remove and
re-insert the drive.
•
If the drive LED continues to blink red and blue after it has
been re-inserted, the drive may be defective. Contact La-
Cie Customer Support (section
7. Contacting Customer
Support
).
✦
In RAID 1 mode (SAFE 100) a data rebuild may be in prog-
ress.
•
Look at the drive LEDs on the back.
•
If a data rebuild is in progress, the drive being rebuilt will
blink red and the drive being read will blink blue.
•
After the rebuild, the rebuilt drive will blink blue rapidly
while the hard disk MAX checks the rebuild.
✦
One of the drives may have failed.
•
Contact LaCie Customer Support (section

✦
RAID is not functioning or the hard disk MAX cannot deter-
mine the RAID setting.
