SC847DJ Chassis Manual
3-4
3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs
The SC847DJ chassis uses SAS or SATA drives.
SAS/SATA Drives
Each SAS/SATA drive carrier has two sets of LEDs, one set of blue and red LED
indicators for each drive. These LEDs are distinguished with a letter F indicator for
front drives and a letter R indicator for rear drives on the drive carrier bezel. The
LEDs function as follows:
Each drive carrier has a blue LED. When illuminated in a solid on state, this blue
LED (on the front of the SAS/SATA drive carrier) indicates a SAS drive. A connec-
tion 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.
