The LEDs on the drive carrier indicates the state of each drive. Each drive carrier has two LEDs: an activity LED (green) and a status LED (bicolor, green/amber). The activity LED blinks whenever the drive is accessed.
If the drive is in the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) mode, the status LED indicator does not power on. Drive status indicator behavior is managed by Storage Spaces Direct. Not all drive status indicators may be used.
NOTE:For information about the Drive LED indicator codes in an MD24XX series enclosure, see the Dell PowerVault MD24XX Direct-Attach Storage for PowerEdge Servers Owner's Manual available on the support site.
