Disk drive blank

To maintain the proper enclosure air flow, a disk drive or a disk drive blank must be installed in each
drive bay. The disk drive blank maintains proper airflow within the disk enclosure.
The green status indicator is on when the disk drive is online and operating
normally. This indicator will be off in the following situations:
• There is no controller on the bus.
• +5.1 VDC is not available.
• The drive is not properly installed in the enclosure.
This amber status indicator is on when there is a disk drive failure. Depending
on the host controller, this indicator may flash when the controller detects an error
condition.
The amber status indicator flashes in synchronization with the other two status
indicators in response to the EMU locate command.
