Drive Carrier LEDs
The Pegasus unit spins up the disk drives sequentially to equalize power draw
during start-up. After a few moments:
• The Power/ Status LEDs turn blue.
• The Activity LEDs turn blue if a drive is installed.
The drive carrier Power/Status LEDs report the condition of the physical drives.
See the table on the next page.

See “Physical Drive Problems” on page 106 for a discussion of rebuilding and
failed physical drives for more information.
The Locator feature is triggered from the Promise Utility. It causes the LEDs to
blink orange and blue for one minute. That action helps you find the specific
drive. See “Locating a Physical Drive” on page 41.
