Hard-Drive Indicators

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

Figure 1-5

). The indicators

provide information on the status of the respective hard drive.

Table 1-5

lists the hard-drive status indicator codes.

Figure 1-5. Hard-Drive Status 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.
