SC847E1C/2C JBOD Chassis Manual
3-4
3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs
The SC847E1C/2C JBOD chassis uses SAS or SATA drives.
SAS/SATA Drives
Each SAS/SATA drive carrier has one set of LEDs, with one blue and red LED
indicator for each drive. The LEDs function as follows:
Each drive carrier has a blue LED. When illuminated in a steady on state, this
blue LED (on the front of the SAS/SATA drive carrier) indicates a SAS drive. A
connection to the SAS/SATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when
that particular drive is being accessed.
When the red LED is blinking, it indicates that the system is either building, initial-
izing or rebuilding RAID.
SCSI Drives
This chassis does not support SCSI drives at this time.
