Drive guidelines

CAUTION:
Do not remove an NVMe SSD from the drive bay while the Do Not Remove button LED is flashing. The
Do Not Remove button LED flashes to indicate the device is still in use. Removal of the NVMe SSD
before the device has completed and ceased signal/traffic flow can cause loss of data.
Depending on the configuration, this server supports SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives.
Observe the following general guidelines:
Status
• Solid blue = The drive is being identified by a host
application.
• Flashing blue = The drive carrier firmware is being
updated or requires an update.
• Rotating green = Drive activity.
• Off = No drive activity.
• Solid white = Do not remove the drive. Removing
the drive causes one or more of the logical drives to
fail.
• Off = Removing the drive does not cause a logical
drive to fail.
• Solid green = The drive is a member of one or more
logical drives.
• Flashing green = The drive is rebuilding or
performing a RAID migration, strip size migration,
capacity expansion, or logical drive extension, or is
erasing.
• Flashing amber/green = The drive is a member of
one or more logical drives and predicts the drive will
fail.
• Flashing amber = The drive is not configured and
predicts the drive will fail.
• Solid amber = The drive has failed.
• Off = The drive is not configured by a RAID
controller.
