Table 3-3 lists the drive indicator patterns established by the SCSI backplane firmware.
Different patterns are displayed as drive events occur in the system. For example, in
the event of a hard-disk drive failure, the “drive failed” pattern appears. After the drive
is selected for removal, the “drive being prepared for removal” pattern appears, fol-
lowed 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: If you do not have a RAID controller installed, you will see only the "drive
online" and "drive bay empty" indicator patterns.
