Checking the Status Indicator
2·4 Hard Disk Drive
When the mass storage system power is switched on, the
hard disk drive automatically performs a self-test. The
hard disk status indicator shows the status of the hard
disk drive during the self-test and during activity with
the host computer. The hard disk status indicator is a
light-emitting diode (LED) located on the mass storage
system front panel. Figure 2-1 shows the indicator position
that corresponds to the mass storage system slot for
each hard disk drive. The first indicator from the left is
connected to the hard disk drive in slot 1 (right front), the
next indicator is connected to the hard disk drive in slot
2
(right rear), and the third indicator is connected to the hard
disk drive in slot 3 (left front). The fourth indicator (on the
right) is not used and is therefore always off.
Each hard disk status indicator displays the following
sequence when the mass storage system is switched on:
1. ON
When the mass storage system power is switched on, the
hard disk status indicator goes on momentarily as the
hard disk drive controller is being tested.
2. OFF
The hard disk status indicator goes off for
1
second after
the hard disk drive controller passes self-test.
3. ON
The hard disk status indicator goes on when the spindle
motor starts, and stays on for about 10 seconds until the
spindle reaches maximum speed.
4. OFF
The hard disk status indicator goes off when the spindle
reaches maximum speed.
