About Your System
Table 1-3 lists the drive indicator patterns for RAID hard drives. 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.
NOTE:
For non-RAID configurations, only the drive-activity indicator is active.
The drive-status indicator is off.
