Indicator Indicator Code

Indicates that power is supplied to the system, and the system is operational.

Indicates that no power is supplied to the system.

standby states, see your operating system documentation.

SCSI Hard-Drive Indicators

Each SCSI hard-drive carrier has two indicators: a busy indicator and a status indicator (see

Figure 1-3

). The indicators

provide information on the status of the respective hard drive.

Table 1-5

lists the drive indicator codes.

Figure 1-3. SCSI Hard-Drive Indicators

Different codes display as drive events occur in the system. For example, in the event of a hard-drive failure, the "drive fail"

code appears. After the drive is selected for removal, the "prepared for removal" code appears. After the replacement drive is

installed, the "prepared 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.
