Hard Drive Indicator LEDs
The hard drive bays on the Multiservices Platform Series device include these LED indicators:
• 1-RU model:
– Solid green—Normal drive status
– Flashing green—Normal drive activity
– Solid red—Drive failure
– Flashing red—Drive rebuilding
• 2-RU model:
– Sold blue—Normal drive status
– Flashing blue—Normal drive activity
– Solid red—Drive failure
Overheat/Fan Fail
LED
Flashes to indicate a fan failure. Lights continuously to indicate an overheat
condition.
An overheat condition can be caused by cables or other obstructions that
constrict the airflow in the system or by the ambient room temperature being
too warm. If this condition occurs, check the routing of the cables, make sure
that all fans are installed and operating normally, make sure that the chassis
covers are installed, and verify that the heat sinks are installed properly. For
related information, see the “Checking Air Flow” section on page 2-14.
NIC 1 LED Flashes to indicate network activity on network interface card (NIC) 1.
NIC 2 LED Flashes to indicate network activity on network interface card (NIC) 2.
HDD LED Lights to indicate hard disk drive activity.
Power LED Lights when the Multiservices Platform Series device power supply receives
power.
This LED should be lit during normal system operation.
