Power Failure
When this LED flashes, it indicates a power failure in the power supply.
Overheat/Fan Fail
When this LED flashes it indicates a fan failure. When continuously on (not flashing)
it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the
airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check the
routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally.
You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally,
verify that the heatsinks are installed properly. This LED will remain flashing or on
as long as the overheat condition exists.
3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs
 Green: Each hard drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this
green LED indicates drive activity. A connection to the backplane enables this
LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed. Please refer
to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed hard drives.
 Red: The red LED to indicate a hard drive failure. If one of the drives fail, you
should be notified by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter
6 for instructions on replacing failed hard drives.
