The VTrak J5000 spins up the disk drives sequentially to equalize power draw during start-up. After a few
moments:
•
The Power/Activity LED displays blue when a physical drive is present.
• The Drive Status LED displays green when the physical drive is configured as a member of a disk array or
as a spare. When the physical drive is not configured, the LED is off.
In the table below:
•
Steady
means the LED is on.
•
Blinking
means a regular on/off pattern.
•
Flashing
means intermittent and irregular on/off pattern.
