A+ SERVER 4042G-72RF4 USER'S MANUAL

3-4 SAS Drive Carrier LEDs

Each SAS drive carrier has two LEDs:

•

Green:

When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SAS drive carrier

indicates drive activity. A connection to the backplane enables this LED to blink
on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.

•

Red:

The SAS2 compliant backplane activates the red LED to indicate a drive

failure. If one of the SAS drives fail, you should be notified by your system

management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing
failed SAS drives.
