Labelling the Drive Carriers

The four drives are designated slightly differently by the Adaptec
2410SA controller, the drive chassis, and the Adaptec Storage
Manager software. This Table shows the different designations:

Channel #1
Channel #2
Channel #3
Channel #4
The Adaptec 2410SA Enclosure kit contains labels that you can use
to label the drive carriers as desired.

About the Drive LEDs

Each drive carrier has an Activity LED, which illuminates or
flashes to indicate status.
When the LED is illuminated, there is I/O activity on that disk drive.
When the LED is blinking, that disk drive has failed and should be
hot-swapped immediately. (The LED blinks at a steady rate when
the drive has failed—it illuminates for half a second, and then goes
off for half a second.)
When the LED is dark, there is no activity on that disk drive.

Installing the Drive Chassis

To install the drive chassis:
1 Turn off your computer, disconnect the power cord, and ground
yourself by touching the computer chassis. Then remove the
computer cabinet, following the manufacturer's instructions.
