    Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SCSI drive carriers and the motherboard to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components.

  • Page 28: Control Panel Leds

    SUPERSERVER 6022L-6 User's Manual Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of the SC822R-400RC chassis has five LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical information related to dif- ferent parts of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take.

  • Page 29: Hdd

    A SAF-TE compliant backplane is needed to activate the red LED, which indicates a drive failure. (A SAF-TE compliant SCSI backplane is standard on the 6022L-6.) If one of the SCSI drives fail, you should be notified by your system management software.
