NIC2:

Indicates network activity on LAN2 when ﬂ ashing .

NIC1:

Indicates network activity on LAN1 when ﬂ ashing.

HDD:

Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 6015A-NT, this

light indicates SATA and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when ﬂ ashing.

Power:

Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply

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

SATA Drive Carrier LEDs

Each Serial ATA drive carrier has two LEDs.

Green:

When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SATA drive car-

rier indicates drive activity. A connection to the SATA backplane enables this LED

to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.

Red:

The red LED indicates two states. When blinking, it indicates the drive

is rebuilding. When solid, it indicates a drive failure. If a SATA drive fails, you

should be notiﬁ ed by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter

6 for instructions on replacing failed SATA drives.
