hard-disk drive
failure indicator
Table 7-2 lists the drive indicator patterns established by the SCSI backplane board
firmware. Different patterns are displayed as drive events occur in the system. For
example, in the event of a hard-disk drive failure, the "drive failed" pattern appears.
After the drive is selected for removal, the "drive being prepared for removal" pattern
appears, followed by the "drive ready for insertion or removal" pattern. After the
replacement drive is installed, the "drive being prepared for operation" pattern
appears, followed by the "drive online" pattern.
NOTE: If you do not have a Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller host adapter
card installed, you will see only the "drive online" and "drive bay empty" indicator
patterns.
