Hard Disk Lamp - NEC Express5800/120Rd-2 Service Manual

Hard Disk Lamp

The disk lamp mounted in the 3.5-inch device bay indicates the following, depending on the
status:
Flashing (green)
!
The lamp indicates that the hard disk is being accessed.
On (amber)
!
The lamp indicates a failure of a hard disk mounted in disk array configuration.
Even if one of the hard disks fails in disk array configuration
NOTE:
(RAID1, RAID5, or RAID0+1), the server can continue operation.
However, replace the disk as soon as possible, and perform
reconstruction (rebuild) processing. (The failing disk can be replaced in
hot swap mode.)
Flashing, switching back and forth between green and amber
!
The lamp indicates that reconstruction (rebuild) processing is being performed for the
hard disk. (This flashing does not indicate a failure.) When a failing hard disk is
replaced in disk array configuration, the system automatically rebuilds the data (Auto-
rebuild function). The lamp switches back and forth between green and amber during
rebuild processing.
The lamp goes off when the rebuild processing has completed. It turns a steady amber if
the rebuild processing fails.
