SCSI Hard-Drive Indicator Codes

If RAID is activated, two indicators on each of the hard-drive carriers provide information on the status of the SCSI hard drives. RAID can be enabled either by
using ROMB on the optional riser card (when available) or by using a RAID expansion card connected to the backplane. See

Figure 2

-4

and

Table 2

-3

. The

SCSI backplane firmware controls the drive power

-on/fault indicator.

 

Figure 2-4. SCSI Hard-Drive Indicators

Table 2

-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"

NOTE:

To disconnect a network cable from the NIC, press the release latch located above the connector. See

Figure 2

-3

. To facilitate installation of

network cables with hooded connectors, use the RJ-45 extension cable provided with your system.
