Disk drive LED (2U48)
You must remove the enclosure bezel to facilitate visual observation of the drawers containing disk drive
modules. To view disks in a drawer, you must open the drawer (see Opening and closing a 2U16 drawer
on page 29). Alternatively, you can use management interfaces to monitor disk LED behavior.

Given that the blue behavior (state) of the LED can indicate only one state at a time, the precedence of requests from highest to
lowest is as follows: Identify; Fault; OK to remove. A higher precedence indication can hide a lower precedence indication.
