12.7 LED Indicators
Each disk drive carrier has two LED indicators visible from the front of the system. One is a green LED
for disk activity and the other is a bicolor (green/amber) LED for status information. The activity LED
is driven by the disk drive during normal operation. The bicolor LED is controlled by the storage
enclosure processor (SEP) device on the backplane. Both LEDs are used to indicate certain conditions
under direction of a storage controller.
For more information, see the Hard-Drive Indicator Patterns section in the About Your System
chapter in the Dell PowerEdge R910 Systems Hardware Owner’s Manual on
Support.Dell.com/Manuals.
12.8 Optical Drives
SATA optical drives are optional in all R910 systems and connect to the planar via the SATA interface
to ICH10. IDE (PATA) optical drives are not supported.
The following internal optical drives are available on R910: DVD-ROM and DVD+RW.
If the optical drive is not ordered with the system, a blank is installed in its place.
