Page 46 highlights

If a 1 x 6 hot-pluggable SCSI backplane board is installed in the computer, three LED indicators adjacent to each of the six SCSI hard-disk drive bays provide information on the status of the SCSI hard-disk drives (see Figure 3-1). The SCSI backplane firmware controls the drive online and drive failure indicators. hard-disk drive hard-disk drive failure indicator activity indicator hard-disk drive online indicator Table 3-3 lists the drive indicator patterns established by the SCSI backplane firmware. Different patterns are displayed as drive events occur in the system. For example, in the event of a hard-disk drive failure, the drive failed pattern appears. After the drive is selected for removal, the drive being prepared for removal pattern appears, followed by the drive ready for insertion or removal pattern. After the replacement drive is installed, the drive being prepared for operation pattern appears, followed by the drive online pattern. NOTE: If you do not have a Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller host adapter card installed, you will see only the drive online and drive bay empty indicator patterns. 3-10 Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems Service Manual

Table 3-3 lists the drive indicator patterns established by the SCSI backplane
firmware. Different patterns are displayed as drive events occur in the system.
For example, in the event of a hard-disk drive failure, the
drive failed
pattern
appears. After the drive is selected for removal, the
drive being prepared for
removal
pattern appears, followed by the
drive ready for insertion or removal
pattern. After the replacement drive is installed, the
drive being prepared for
operation
pattern appears, followed by the
drive online
pattern.
NOTE: If you do not have a Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller host
adapter card installed, you will see only the
drive online
and
drive bay empty
indicator patterns.
