Figure 75. Drive status LEDs on an IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 drive carrier
The following table describes the behavior of drive carrier assembly LEDs of IBM Elastic Storage System
3200.
Table 23. IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 LEDs behavior
LED Type Color Behavior
Identify LED Blue
ON (Solid): The SSD has been identied (with
Green LED) or in replace state.
OFF: The SSD is not in Identify or Replace
state.
Drive carrier (bi-color,
Green/Amber) LED
Green
Solid: Refers drive power. There are no
detectable faults.
Blink: The drive LED blinks green for an
activity.
Amber ON: The drive is in Failing state.
OFF The SSD does not have any power.
Fan module LEDs
The IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 includes three LEDs with each of the six fan modules. The available
LEDs are of blue, amber, and green color. These LEDs are used to monitor fan modules.
Note: To get access to the fan, requires the removal of the fan cover screw.
On system startup, the green LED illuminates automatically until the system is initialized completely. The
following gure shows fan module LEDs.
