LED Locate and Fault Indication header

Ports 0 to 3

Ports 4 to 7

2x8-pin connector

Connects to an LED array that indicates whether a drive is in
a fault condition. There is one LED per port. When lit, each
LED indicates the corresponding drive has failed or is in the
unconfigured-bad state.

SAS ports only.
