E. LED Indicators
Each disk drive carrier has two LED indicators visible from the front of the system. One is a green LED
for disk activity and the other is a bicolor (green/amber) LED for status information. The activity LED is
driven by the disk drive during normal operation. The bicolor LED is controlled by the SEP device on the
backplane. Both LEDs are used to indicate certain conditions under direction of a storage controller.
F. Optical Drives
Optical drives are optional in all of the PowerEdge R710 systems and connect to the planar via the SATA
interface. The following internal slim-line drives are available on the PowerEdge R710: DVD-ROM and
DVD+RW. PATA (IDE) optical drives are not supported.
If an optical drive is not ordered with the system, a blank is installed in its place.
G. Tape Drives
Internal tape drives are optional in systems with the 4x3.5" or 8x2.5" backplanes. Internal SATA tape
drives connect directly to the SATA connector on the planar. Internal SCSI tape drives connect through
the LSI 2032 PCI Express SCSI adapter card.
