Monitoring Disk Drives with Adaptec Storage Manager

Adaptec Storage Manager allows you to monitor the status of your SAS, SATA, or SCSI disk
drives. Within Adaptec Storage Manager, you can select a disk drive object and a command will
be sent to the backplane (for internal disk drives) or enclosure (for external disk drives). The
LED associated with that disk drive will flash. The following table describes the LED flash
states. For more information refer to the Adaptec Storage Manager Help.
