Dell EMC R740 Server hard drive blinking green health light, What is the solution?
Hi,
I have a Dell EMC R740 Server, and one of the hard drives has a blinking green health light. How can I fix this, and what might have caused it?

Ideally, check the idrac System Event Log (SEL) to see if anything is shown as to why the drive is blinking like that. My experience has been that if the drive is flashing green, that slot is a different type than what the drive is, example, putting a sas/sata drive in an nvme drive bay. If the drive has always been there, try just reseating the drive in the same slot.

Hello, have you seen this page before?

1 - Hard Drive Carrier Status LEDs
The LEDs on the physical disk carrier indicates the state of each physical disk. Each drive carrier in your enclosure has two LEDs: an activity LED (green) and a status LED (bicolor, green/amber) as shown below. The activity LED flashes whenever the drive is accessed.
