Hard-Drive Indicator Codes

If an optional SAS backplane is installed in the system, two indicators on each of the hard-drive carriers
provide information on the status of the hard drives. See Figure 1-4 and Table 1-5. The SAS backplane
firmware controls the drive power-on/fault indicator.

Figure 1-4.
