Hard Drive LED Indicators
The hard drive LEDs, located on each physical drive, are visible on the front
of the server or on the front of the storage enclosure. They provide activity,
online, and fault status for each corresponding drive when configured as a part
of an array and connected to a powered-up controller. LED behavior can vary
depending on the status of other drives in the array.
This section provides the following information about hard drive LEDs:
An illustration detailing the location of each LED
A table of the possible LED configurations and what each combination
