* Configured means the physical drive either belongs to an array or it is assigned as a spare
drive.
The Vess R2600 spins up the disk drives sequentially to equalize power draw during start-up. After a few
moments:
• The Power/Activity LED displays blue when a physical drive is present.
• The Drive Status LED displays green when the physical drive is configured as a member of a disk array or
as a spare. When the physical drive is not configured, the LED is dark.
In the table below:
• Steady means the LED is on.
• Blinking means a regular on/off pattern.
• Flashing means intermittent and irregular on/off pattern.
