Status indicator

Description

Activity

This green status indicator is a “drive ready” indicator and

is on when the drive is idle.

Online

The green status indicator for this icon is controlled by the

disk drive. The status indicator will be off when:

There is no controller on the bus.

+5.1 VDC is not available.

The drive is not properly installed in the enclosure.

Fault

The amber status indicator flashes in synchronization with

the other two status indicators in response to the EMU

locate command. Depending on the host controller, the

indicator for this icon can flash when the controller detects

an error condition.

Drive status displays

The two green and one amber LEDs are either on, off, or flashing. In some configurations, the host

controller can control the status LEDs. The operational drive LED status displays are shown in

Table 13

.

See

Table 14
