12.2.2 Empty Drive Bays
For the slots that are not occupied by drives, a carrier blank is provided to maintain proper cooling,
maintain a uniform appearance to the unit, and provide EMI shielding.
The T610 does not support diskless configuration.
12.2.3 Hard Drive 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
