Each drive carrier has an activity LED indicator and a status LED indicator. The indicators provide information about the current
status of the drive. The activity LED indicator indicates whether the drive is currently in use or not. The status LED indicator
indicates the power condition of the drive.

Condition
have the same power rating. This results in a PSU mismatch condition or failure to
turn the system on.
CAUTION:
When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the PSU with the
blinking indicator. Swapping the PSU to make a matched pair can result in an
error condition and unexpected system shutdown. To change from a High Output
configuration to a Low Output configuration or vice versa, you must turn off the
system.
CAUTION:
If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same type and have the same
maximum output power.
CAUTION:
Combining AC and DC PSUs is not supported and triggers a mismatch.
Condition
Identifying drive or preparing for removal.
Drive ready for removal.
NOTE:
The drive status indicator remains off until all drives are
initialized after the system is turned on. Drives are not ready
for removal during this time.
Predicted drive failure.
Drive failed.
Drive rebuilding.
