3.1.4 LSISAS3800X Host Adapter Characteristics
The LSISAS3800X uses a standard PCI bracket as shown in Figure 3.4 .
3.1.4.1 LEDs
The LSISAS3800X host adapter has eight LEDs that turn green to
indicate an activity condition on any of the eight phys. There are eight
LEDs that turn yellow to indicate a fault condition on any of the eight
phys. See
Figure 3.4 for LED locations.
The LSISAS3800X host adapter has two light pipes routed through the
PCI bracket. One light pipe turns green to indicate activity on any phy.
The other light pipe is bi-color. It flashes green to indicate the
LSISAS1068 heartbeat, or it turns yellow when the LSISAS1068
firmware detects a fault condition.
