Important!
If ACTY1 or ACTY2 is blinking regularly, the

drives in this Brick, replace as needed, and wait for the
copyback to complete before servicing the spare disk drive.
Note: When Guided Maintenance beacons the spare disk
drive to identify it, Guided Maintenance:
• Turns off the ACTY1, RDY, and ACTY2 LEDs.
• Lights the FLT LED solid amber.
