e. leD indicators

Each disk drive carrier has two LED indicators visible from the front of the system. One is a green LED

for disk activity and the other is a bicolor (green/amber) LED for status information. The activity LED is

driven by the disk drive during normal operation. The bicolor LED is controlled by the SEP device on the

backplane. Both LEDs are used to indicate certain conditions under direction of a storage controller.

f. Optical Drives

Optical drives are optional in all of the PowerEdge R710 systems and connect to the planar via the SATA

interface. The following internal slim-line drives are available on the PowerEdge R710: DVD-ROM and

DVD+RW. PATA (IDE) optical drives are not supported.

If an optical drive is not ordered with the system, a blank is installed in its place.

G. tape Drives

Internal tape drives are optional in systems with the 4x3.5" or 8x2.5" backplanes. Internal SATA tape

drives connect directly to the SATA connector on the planar. Internal SCSI tape drives connect through

the LSI 2032 PCI Express SCSI adapter card.
