Indication
Description
OFF

Green
Rapid blink
Access to HDD now.
ON during start

ON during operation Indicates that HDD is defected or SATA cable is disconnected. If HDD is
defected, replace it with new one and perform rebuild process.
Amber
Slow blink
Indicates that rebuild process is in progress.
Notice
Without accesses, the green lamp may blink frequently. This does not indicate the
occurrence of a failure.
It is caused by routine monitoring accesses by ESMPRO or the disk array controller itself
or periodical accesses from OS. In addition, due to the nature of the disk array controller,
the blinking period against a single access is rather long. Such accesses may cause
frequent blinks to occur.
Check
Some servers cannot be connected with additional HDD cages or can only be
connected with different types of additional HDD cages. Contact your service
representative for details.
The amber lamp goes on every boot of the server. However, this does not indicate
the occurrence of a fault.
Rebooting takes place with the lamp status at rebooting remaining unchanged.
