The ASUS DS300f G2 spins up the disk drives sequentially to equalize power draw during start-up. After a few
moments:
• The Power/Activity LED displays blue when a physical drive is present.
• The Drive Status LED displays green when the physical drive is configured as a member of a disk array or
as a spare. When the physical drive is unconfigured, the LED is dark.
See the diagram and table on the next page.

* Configured means the physical drive either belongs to an array or it
is assigned as a spare drive.
* Steady means the LED is on.
* Blinking means a regular on/off pattern.
* Flashing means intermittent and irregular on/off pattern.
See "Physical Drive Problems" on page 213 for a discussion of rebuilding and failed physical drives for more
information.
The Locator feature is triggered from ASUS Storage Management or the CLU. It causes the LEDs to blink on and
off for one minute. That action helps you find the specific drive.
