Chapter 4 - Managing and Monitoring

Fan Status

45

Fan Status

The Fan Status LED indicates the condition of the cooling fans. The LED will 
illuminate green when both fans are functioning normally and will change to 
amber if either of the fans fail. The LED will blink amber if an over temperature 
condition occurs.

Drive LEDs

The Drive LEDs are located on the left side of the front bezel between the ventilation 
ribs and comprise the Drive Status LEDs and Drive Activity LEDs. The Drive LEDs 
are grouped in pairs and are in the general location of the disk drive slot. 

These Drive LEDs assist with identifying array status, the presence of a drive in a 
drive slot, and which drives are experiencing I/O activity. Refer to “LED Matrix” 
on page 47.

Drive Status LEDs

There are twelve Drive Status LEDs. The Drive Status LED is the left LED of each 

pair of Drive LEDs. This LED will illuminate steady green when a drive is present 

in the slot and powered on. Refer to “LED Matrix” on page 47 for more details.

Drive Activity LEDs

There are twelve Drive Activity LEDs. These LEDs will flash indicating a specific 

drive is being accessed, either during read or write activity. These LEDs will flash 

to indicate disk I/O activity. 

Drive Carrier LitePipes

On each disk drive carrier are “LitePipes.” They are located on the lower right side 

of each drive carrier. The LitePipes present some of the information provided by 

the front bezel Drive LEDs, that is, drive activity information and drive fault 

(failure) or data rebuilding notifications when the front bezel is removed.
