Hard-Drive Indicator Codes
The hard-drive carriers have two indicators—a drive-activity indicator and a
drive-status indicator. See Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2. Hard-Drive Indicators
Table 1-3 lists the drive indicator patterns for hard drives connected to a RAID-
enabled controller card such as a PERC6i card. Different patterns are displayed
as drive events occur in the system. For example, if a hard drive fails, the "drive
failed" pattern appears. After the drive is selected for removal, the "drive being
prepared for removal" pattern appears, followed by the "drive ready for insertion
or removal" pattern. After the replacement drive is installed, the "drive being
prepared for operation" pattern appears, followed by the "drive online" pattern.
