Activity Lights

The ArmadaStation has two activity lights.
MultiBay Activity Light
The MultiBay activity light is located on the MultiBay. This light turns on when
information from a removable drive inserted in the ArmadaStation MultiBay is
accessed.
Power/Suspend Light
The power/suspend light is located on the front/right corner of the ArmadaStation and is
visible from both the front and right side of the ArmadaStation. This light turns on
when the system (computer and ArmadaStation) is turned on; this light blinks when the
system is placed in Suspend.

MultiBay

The ArmadaStation features a MultiBay. This MultiBay, along with its release latch, is
removable as a unit. The MultiBay is located in the front of the ArmadaStation base
assembly and secured by the drive cages, drive cage shield, and upper case assembly.
The MultiBay supports the same drives that are used in the computer MultiBay and can
be used to charge batteries.
The ArmadaStation MultiBay supports the following devices:
CD-ROM drive
Second hard drive
Second battery pack
Diskette drive
Compaq LTE Elite and LTE 5000 hard drives that are configured for use as secondary
drives can be used in the ArmadaStation MultiBay. A hard drive must be inserted in an
Armada 7000 Hard Drive MultiBay Adapter before it can be inserted in a MultiBay.
The system (computer and ArmadaStation) must be turned off when inserting or
removing a hard drive, diskette drive, or CD-ROM drive from the MultiBay. The
system does not have to be turned off when inserting or removing a battery pack.

Half-Height Bay

The ArmadaStation features one standard half-height bay, which is located on the front
of the ArmadaStation. The half-height bay supports any standard half-height drive or a
half-height MultiBay adapter.
