Diskless Configuration Support; Hard Drive Led Indicators; Raid Configurations - Dell POWEREDGE R710 Series Technical Manualbook

Dell™ PowerEdge™ R710 Technical Guidebook
IV. Diskless Configuration Support
The system supports diskless configuration with no storage controller (SAS 6/iR or PERC 6i) installed in
the system. A 2.5" HDD backplane is still installed in this configuration.
V. Hard Drive LED Indicators
Each disk drive carrier has two LED indicators visible from the front of the system. One is a green LED
for disk activity and the other is a bicolor (green/amber) LED for status information. The activity LED is
driven by the disk drive during normal operation. The bicolor LED is controlled by the SEP device on the
backplane. Both LEDs are used to indicate certain conditions under direction of a storage controller.
