Operation

Drive Ready/Error LED

This bi-color LED indicates either the status of the drive or fan/DC 
power, depending on the color.

Drive Ready (blue)

: Flashing blue LED indicates that drive is 

inserted and powering up. Steady blue LED glow indicates drive is 
powered on and ready for access.

Error (red):

 Flashing red and blue LED indicates a fan failure. 

Steady red LED glow indicates DC power failure. 

Drive Activity LED

This amber LED indicates when the host computer is accessing the data 
on the drive. LED will flash during communication with the host computer.

to your SAS drive manufacturer’s documentation for further information).

If your drive does not support this feature, the Drive Activity LED can 
be enabled via host connection (cable not included) to Pin 1 located on 
Receiving Frame Motherboard (Figure 2). Refer to your SAS PC system/
host controller manufacturer’s documentation for further information.
