Dell Figure 8. Dell 2.5" Hard Drive Carrier 12.2.2 Empty Drive Bays For the slots that are not occupied by drives, a carrier blank is provided to maintain proper cooling, maintain a uniform appearance to the unit, and provide EMI shielding. 12.2.3 Diskless Configuration Support The system supports diskless configuration with no storage controller (SAS 6/iR, PERC 6i, PERC H200, or PERC H700) installed in the system. A 2.5‖ hard drive backplane is still installed in this configuration. 12.2.4 Hard Drive LED Indicators Each disk drive carrier has two LED indicators visible from the front of the system. One is a green LED for disk activity and the other is a bicolor (green/amber) LED for status information. The activity LED is driven by the disk drive during normal operation. The bicolor LED is controlled by the storage enclosure processor (SEP) device on the backplane. Both LEDs are used to indicate certain conditions under direction of a storage controller.
