Hard disk drive activity LED: When this LED is flashing, it indicates that the
drive is in use.
Hard disk drive status LED: On some server models, each hot-swap hard disk
drive has a status LED. When this LED is lit, it indicates that the drive has failed.
If an optional IBM ServeRAID controller is installed in the server, when this LED is
flashing slowly (one flash per second), it indicates that the drive is being rebuilt.
When the LED is flashing rapidly (three flashes per second), it indicates that the
controller is identifying the drive.
