System Status Indicators
The system's bezel has an indicator that can represent system status when the bezel is
installed. The indicator identifies whether the system is operating properly or needs
attention. A caution code identifies a problem with power supply, system or power-supply
fans, system temperature, hard drives, or expansion cards.
Table 1-2 lists the system status indicator codes.
Hard-Drive Indicator Codes
Each SCSI hard-drive carrier has two indicators: a busy indicator on the bottom and a
status indicator on the top. The indicators provide information on the status of the
respective hard drive.
Table 1-3 lists the drive indicator codes. 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 "Prepare for operation, drive online" code appears.
