DXi4800 Hard Drive Carrier Indicators

Each DXi4800 hard drive carrier in the Node module has two LED indicators:

LED Indicator Activity
Drive activity indicator (green)
  • Flashing - Indicates hard disk drive activity.
Drive status indicator (green and amber)
  • Off - Drive ready for insertion or removal

    Note: The drive status indicator remains off until all drives are initialized after system power is applied. Drives are not ready for insertion or removal during this time.

  • Blinks green two times per second - Identify drive/preparing for removal
  • Blinks green, amber, and off - Drive predicted failure
  • Blinks amber four times per second - Drive failed
  • Blinks green slowly - Drive rebuilding
  • Steady green - Drive online
  • Blinks green three seconds, amber three seconds, and off six seconds - Rebuild aborted

Note: If a drive fails, you will be notified by a service ticket in the remote management console (see Service Tickets).

Caution: Do not remove a drive that has not failed. Instead, only remove a drive that has failed. If you accidentally remove a good drive, wait 30 seconds before reinserting the drive.
