NIC indicator codes
Each NIC on the back of the system has indicators that provide information about the activity and link status. The activity LED
indicator indicates if data is flowing through the NIC, and the link LED indicator indicates the speed of the connected network.

Power supply unit indicator codes
AC power supply units (PSUs) have an illuminated translucent handle that serves as an indicator. The indicator shows if power is
present or if a power fault has occurred.
Drive indicator codes
The LEDs on the drive carrier indicates the state of each drive. Each drive carrier has two LEDs: an activity LED (green) and a
status LED (bicolor, green/amber). The activity LED blinks whenever the drive is accessed.
NOTE:
If the drive is in the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) mode, the status LED indicator does not power on.
NOTE:
Drive status indicator behavior is managed by Storage Spaces Direct. Not all drive status indicators may be used.
