Figure 1-2. Hard-Drive Indicators
Table 1-3 lists the drive indicator patterns. Different patterns are displayed as drive events occur in the
system. For example, if a hard-drive fails, the "drive failed" pattern appears. After the drive is selected for
removal, the "drive being prepared for removal" pattern appears, followed by the "drive ready for insertion
or removal" pattern. After the replacement drive is installed, the "drive being prepared for operation" pattern
appears, followed by the "drive online" pattern.
NOTE: For non-RAID configurations, only the drive-activity indicator is active. The drive-status indicator is off.
