HDD power LEDs

There are four HDD power LEDs, one for each SCSI HDD.

• The LED lights up steady GREEN when an HDD is installed on the

drive tray.

• The LED lights up steady RED when the installed HDD fails.

• The LED flickers RED when the HDD is creating a RAID configuration.

HDD access LED

This LED flickers GREEN when any one of the installed HDDs is being

accessed.

LAN LEDs

There are three LAN LEDs, one for each of the RJ-45 ports on the rear

panel. A LAN LED flickers GREEN when the RJ-45 port connected to it is

active.

Power LED

This LED lights up steady GREEN when the system power is ON.

Message LED

This LED lights up steady RED when a system failure is detected by ASUS

Server Management Agent (ASMA) software. This LED is OFF if ASMA does

not detect any failure.

Location LED

This LED lights up steady BLUE when the location switch is pressed. Both

the front and rear panels have location switch and LED. To turn OFF the

LED, press the location switch again or use the ASWM software.

The location switch and LED are for service purposes. When the system

fails or is shut down, the server administrator can press either the front or the

rear location switch to identify the location of the specific 1U system in a rack

cabinet.
