You can easily identify the drives in a unit, or an individual drive, by causing
the LEDs associated with the drives to blink.
When you have drives installed in an enclosure that has an integrated AMCC/
3ware CCU (chassis control unit) and have connected the I

locate individual drives by blinking their associated LED.
Note:
Drive Locate is supported by some chassis vendors. This feature requires a
chassis with a Chassis Control Unit (CCU) designed according to AMCC/3ware

chassis vendors that support the CCU, as they become available.
