I/O Subsystem

The I/O subsystem includes SAS, SATA, SCSI, DVD, HDD, and core I/O devices.

Verifying Hard Disk Drive Operation

Each hard disk drive has an activity LED indicator on the front of the drive.

NOTE:

On HP Integrity rx3600 servers only the activity LED is used. The status LED is not

monitored by the OS.

Lightpipes on the disk drive transmit light to these apertures from LEDs on the inside rear of
the hot-swap mass storage cage. Verify that the activity LED shows the correct activity indication
for all disk drives that you installed:

1.

Power on the server and attached monitor.

2.

During the boot sequence, watch the activity LED on each hard disk drive.

The LED quickly cycles from amber to green and stays steady green until the drive
spins up.

When the drive is finished spinning up, the LED turns off.

3.

If the activity LED stays illuminated steady green on a disk drive after the drive spins up,
the drive cage may not be correctly installed. To check the installation, follow these steps:
a.

Power off the server and unplug the ac power cords and cables.

b.

Verify that the SAS interface is correctly installed.

c.

Reconnect the ac power cords and cables. Power on the server and repeat steps 1 and
2. If any activity LEDs remain lit, contact HP.
