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.

NOTE:

The drive-busy indicator signifies whether the hard drive is active on the SCSI bus. This indicator is controlled

by the hard drive.

NIC Indicator Codes

Each NIC on the back panel has an indicator that provides information on network activity and link status (see

Figure 3-6

).

Table 3-7

lists the NIC indicator codes on the back panel.

The front panel has a link indicator for each NIC (see

Figure 3-2

). Each indicator signifies whether the corresponding NIC is

connected to a valid link partner on the network.
