System Status Indicator Codes
The system bezel incorporates a system status indicator. The system status indicator lights blue
when the system is operating correctly and lights amber when the system needs attention due to a
problem with power supplies, fans, system temperature, or hard drives.
Table 1-1 lists the system's indicator patterns. Different patterns are displayed as events occur in
the system.
Hard-Drive Indicator Codes
Each SCSI hard-drive carrier has two indicators: a busy indicator on the bottom and a status
indicator on the top. The indicators provide information on the status of the respective hard drive.
Table 1-2 lists the drive status indicator codes. Different codes display as drive events occur in the
system. For example, in the event of a hard-drive failure, the "drive failed" code appears. After the
drive is selected for removal, the "drive being prepared for removal" code appears. After the
replacement drive is installed, the "drive being prepared for operation, drive online" code appears.

NOTE:
While the system is being identified, the blue indicator blinks even though an error has been
