HP SmartDrive LED definitions
HP SmartDrives are the latest HP drive technology, and they are supported beginning with ProLiant Gen8
servers and server blades. The HP SmartDrive is not supported on earlier generation servers and server
blades. Identify an HP SmartDrive by its carrier, shown in the following illustration.
When a drive is configured as a part of an array and connected to a powered-up controller, the drive LEDs
indicate the condition of the drive.
