an image of an identified drive and a Stop button. Click the Stop button to end identification before
the time expires.

After the drive identification completes, the page must be refreshed manually to display the Start
button. There may be a delay, depending on the length of the HP Insight Management Agents
data collection interval, after the drive identification completes and before the Start button can be
displayed.

Only drives in hot plug trays are supported since the LEDs are part of the tray. If an individual
logical drive or physical drive on this controller is selected while the drives connected to this
controller are currently identified, the other drives stop identification and only the selected drive
are identified.

When there are redundant controllers only the active controller can be used to identify the drives
connected to the controller.

IMPORTANT:

The Start or Stop button only displays if you are logged on as an administrator or

an operator, SNMP Sets are enabled, and a SNMP Community string has been defined with 'write'
access. Go back to the Summary page and select login to login as an administrator or operator.
SNMP Sets can be enabled in the HP Insight Management Agents control panel applet on the
SNMP Settings page. A SNMP Community string with 'write' access can be defined in the SNMP
Service Properties Security page located in Computer Management under Services. The drive icon
does not blink in Microsoft Internet Explorer unless Play animations in web pages is enabled in
the Tools menu Internet Options under the Advanced tab in the Multimedia section.
