Item LED Status Definition
Flashing green
The drive is doing one of the following:
• Rebuilding
• Performing a RAID migration
• Performing a strip size migration
• Performing a capacity expansion
• Performing a logical drive extension
• Erasing
• Spare part activation
Flashing amber/
green
The drive is a member of one or more logical drives and predicts the
drive will fail.
Flashing amber The drive is not configured and predicts the drive will fail.
Solid amber The drive has failed.
Off The drive is not configured by a RAID controller or a spare drive.
SAS, SATA, and SSD drive guidelines
When adding drives to the compute module, observe the following general guidelines:
• Drives must be of the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped in the same drive array.
• Drives in the same logical volume must be of the same type. HPE SSA does not support mixing SAS,
SATA, and SSD drives in the same logical volume.
NVMe SSD LED definitions
The NVMe SSD is a PCIe bus device. A device attached to a PCIe bus cannot be removed without
allowing the device and bus to complete and cease the signal/traffic flow.
CAUTION: Do not remove an NVMe SSD from the drive bay while the Do not remove LED is
flashing. The Do not remove LED flashes to indicate that the device is still in use. Removing the
NVMe SSD before the device has completed and ceased signal/traffic flow can cause loss of data.
