4-4 Drive Carrier LEDs

The SC216 chassis supports SAS/SATA drives.

SAS/SATA Drives

Each SAS/SATA drive carrier has two LEDs.

Green or Blue:

•

Each hard disk drive carrier has either a green or a blue LED,

depending upon the hard disk drives and backplane used. When illuminated,
this LED 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 a SAS/SATA drive failure. If one of the SAS/SATA

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