HPE SmartDrive LED definitions
HPE SmartDrives are the latest Hewlett Packard Enterprise drive technology, and they are supported
beginning with ProLiant Gen8 servers and server blades. The SmartDrive is not supported on earlier
generation servers and server blades. Identify a SmartDrive by its carrier, shown in the following
illustration.
When a drive is configured as a part of an array and connected to a powered-up controller, the drive LEDs
indicate the condition of the drive.
