Drive Carrier LEDs
SAS/SATA Drives
Each SAS/SATA drive carrier has two LEDs.
•
Blue: When illuminated, this blue LED (on the front of the drive carrier) indicates
drive activity. A connection to the SAS/SATA backplane enables this LED to blink
on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.
•
Red: The red LED indicates a SAS/SATA drive failure. If one of the SAS/SATA
drives fail, you should be notifi ed by your system management software.
