Status LED Indications

System Powered, No Data Reads or Writes

When the Fusion R400S RAID is powered on, and no data 
is being written or read, the Power and Drive LEDs turn on 

(Figure 5)

.

 

Drive Activity

When data is being read from or written to a drive, its 
corresponding LED will flash during read and write activity 

(Figure 6)

.

Drive Not Recognized

When one or more drive LEDs is off while the others 
remain lit, the corresponding drive(s) is not recognized 

(Figure 7)

. There are a few possible causes for a drive to not 

be recognized, including: the corresponding drive module is 
not plugged securely into the enclosure or the drive itself has 
failed. There is a small chance that the enclosure is defective.

Clone, RAID 5, or RAID 10 Rebuild

After inserting a drive into the R400S RAID enclosure to 
replace a failed drive from a RAID 5 or RAID 10 group (or 
putting in a new drive to be cloned to), the Rebuild LED 
lights up orange, and the Drive LEDs flash with activity 
until the RAID has been rebuilt or the clone copy completed 

(Figure 8)

. Once the rebuild is complete, the Rebuild LED 

turns off.
