Figure 2-7. SCSI Hard-Drive Indicators
Table 2-6 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 fail" code appears. After the
drive is selected for removal, the "preparing for removal" code appears. After the replacement drive
is installed, the "preparing for operation, drive online" code appears.
The drive-busy indicator signifies whether the hard drive is active on the SCSI bus. The indicator is
controlled by the hard drive.
