Hard-Drive Indicator Codes
Each hard-drive carrier has two indicators: a busy indicator and a status indicator (see Figure3-5). The indicators provide information on the status of the
respective hard drive. Table3-6 lists the drive indicator codes.
Figure 3-5. Hard-Drive Indicators
Table3-6 lists the drive indicator codes. Different codes display as drive events occur in the system. For example, in the event of a hard-drive failure, the "drive
failed" code appears. After the drive is selected for removal, the "preparing for removal" code appears. After the replacement drive is installed, the "preparing
for operation, drive online" code appears.
