Chapter 3: System Interface

3-3

NIC1:

Indicates network activity on LAN1 when flashing.

HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 6012P-8,

this LED indicates CD-ROM drive activity when flashing.

Power:

Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power

supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is

operating.

3-4

SCSI Drive Carrier LEDs

Each SCSI drive carrier has two LEDs.

Green:

When illuminated, the green LED on the front of a SCSI drive

carrier indicates drive activity. A connection to the SCSI SCA backplane

enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being

accessed.

Red: A SAF-TE compliant backplane (standard on the 6012P-8) acti-

vates the red LED, which indicates a drive failure. If one of the SCSI drives

fail, you should be notified by your system management software. Please

refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed SCSI drives.
