Introducing the iTX Playout Appliance
SATA hard drives
SATA hard drives
The front panel of the iTX Playout Appliance provides access to the eight hot-swap RAID 10
hard drives, which provide up to 2TB of media storage.
Each SATA drive carrier has two small LEDs: one green and one red.
• Green: When illuminated, this green LED indicates drive activity. A connection to the
SATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being
accessed.
• Red: When illuminated, the red LED indicates the failure of that SATA drive. If a drive
fails, you should be notified by your system management software.
Use the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) software to manage and monitor the RAID
arrays on the iTX Playout Appliance. See
Managing the RAID Arrays on the iTX Playout
Appliance , on page 21 for more information.

exists. The following table identifies all of the possible state of this LED.

supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is
operating.
