9. Check the LEDs above the new drive (Figure 84 on page 162).
After you insert the drive, both LEDs may turn on intermittently as the drive
spins-up. Wait for the drive to complete the spin-up process, then choose one of
the following that best describes the behavior of the drive LEDs:
a. Active LED is blinking and Power/Fault LED is glowing green. Your
system is reconstructing the drive automatically (See Note below).
Depending on the size of the drive and amount of data to be restored,
reconstruction could take several minutes. Wait for the system to complete
the reconstruction process. The Active LED will stop blinking and the
Power/Fault LED will be glowing green. Go to Step 11 on page 164.
b. Active LED is off (never blinked) and Power/Fault LED is glowing green.
Your system is not reconstructing the drive automatically. Go to Step 12 on
page 164.
c. Active LED is off and Power/Fault LED is glowing amber. Wait two
minutes to give the system ample time to spin-up and, if applicable,
reconstruct the drive (See Note below). If the Power/Fault LED continues to
glow amber, remove the new drive FRU, wait at least ten seconds, and
re-install it. If the Power/Fault LED turns green and the Active LED starts
blinking, go to Step 9.a (above). If the Power/Fault LED turns green, but the
Active LED does not start blinking, go to Step 12 on page 164. If the
Power/Fault LED remains amber, go to Step 10.
Note: Depending on the configuration of the drive module and the parameters set
in the host RAID management software, the drive may begin reconstructing
automatically as soon as you install it in the drive slot. During this process,
the drive's Power/Fault LED might turn amber and stay on for a few minutes,
then turn green when the Active LED begins blinking. A blinking Active LED
indicates that the data reconstruction is in progress. When the Active LED
stops blinking, the reconstruction is complete and you can resume this
procedure at Step 11 on page 164. If this does not occur, go to Step 12 on
page 164.
10. Determine if the new drive is defective.
If you re-installed the drive and the Power/Fault LED is still glowing amber, it
means
