1 AC power is on (12 V rail) and the NVM

controller is read.

2 AC power is off or the battery is off (12 V

rail off).

NVDIMM Function LED patterns

For the purpose of this table, the NVDIMM-N LED operates as follows:

NVDIMM-N Function LED

(green)

On Off

(blue)

NVDIMM LED identification 25

• Solid indicates that the LED remains in the on state.

• Flashing indicates that the LED is on for 2 seconds and off for 1 second.

• Fast-flashing indicates that the LED is on for 300 ms and off for 300 ms.

State Definition NVDIMM-N Function LED

0 The restore operation is in progress. Flashing

1 The restore operation is successful. Solid or On

2 Erase is in progress. Flashing

3 The erase operation is successful. Solid or On

4 The NVDIMM-N is armed, and the NVDIMM-N is in

normal operation.

5 The save operation is in progress. Flashing

6 The NVDIMM-N finished saving and battery is still turned

on (12 V still powered).

7 The NVDIMM-N has an internal error or a firmware

update is in progress. For more information about an NVDIMM-N internal error, see the IML.

Drives

SAS/SATA drive components and LEDs

Item Description Status

1 Locate

• Solid blue = The drive is being identified by a host application.

• Flashing blue = The drive carrier firmware is being updated or requires an update.

2 Activity ring LED

• Rotating green = Drive activity.

• Off = No drive activity.

Drives 27

Item Description Status

3 Do not remove LED

• Solid white = Do not remove the drive. Removing the drive causes one or more of the logical drives to fail.

• Off = Removing the drive does not cause a logical drive to fail.

4 Drive status LED

• Solid green = The drive is a member of one or more logical drives.

• Flashing green = The drive is rebuilding or performing a RAID migration, strip size migration, capacity expansion, or logical drive extension, or is erasing.

• 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.

NVMe SSD components

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.

• Off = The drive is not configured by a RAID controller.

Solid amber = The drive has failed.

Off = The drive is not configured by a RAID controller.

Solid white = Do not remove the drive. Drive must be ejected from the PCIe bus prior to removal.

Flashing white = Ejection request pending

Off = Drive has been ejected

5 Power LED

6 Power button

7 Do not remove button Press to open the release lever.

Solid green = Do not remove the drive. Drive must be ejected from the PCIe bus prior to removal.

Flashing green = Ejection request pending

Off = Drive has been ejected

Press to request PCIe ejection. Removal request can be denied by the:

• RAID controller (one or more of the logical drives could fail)

• Operating system

Component identification 29

uFF drive components and LEDs

Item Description Status

1 Locate

• Off—Normal

• Solid blue—The drive is being identified by a host application

• Flashing blue—The drive firmware is being updated or requires an update

2 uFF drive ejection latch Removes the uFF drive when released

3 Do not remove LED

• Off—OK to remove the drive. Removing the drive does not cause a logical drive to fail.

• Solid white—Do not remove the drive. Removing the drive causes one or more of the logical drives to fail.
