Icon Description Condition Corrective action
Drive
indicator
The indicator turns solid amber if
there is a drive error. • Check the System Event Log to determine if the drive has an error.
• Run the appropriate Online Diagnostics test. Restart the system and
run embedded diagnostics (ePSA).
• If the drives are congured in a RAID array, restart the system, and
enter the host adapter conguration utility program.
