PSU LEDs
Under normal conditions, the bi-tonal PSU Status OK LED will be a constant green. See also Figure 15 on

page 17. When a fault occurs, the color of the LEDs will display as shown in the following table.

Front panel LEDs
The front panel displays the aggregated status of all the modules. The enclosure status LEDs located on

the front panel are labeled in Figure 14 on page 15 and they are individually described in the narrative

subsections that follow the table.

Disk drive carrier module LED
Disk drive status is monitored by an amber LED mounted on the front of each drive carrier module, as

shown in the figure below. The drive module LED conditions are defined in the table following the figure

below.
In normal operation the amber LED will be:
• Off if there is no drive present.
• Off as the drive operates.
• On if there is a drive fault.
