  • USB connectors: Connect a USB device, such as USB mouse or keyboard to either of these connectors.
  • Hard disk drive activity LEDs (green):This green LED is used on hot-swap SAS or SATA hard disk drives. Each hot-swap hard disk drive has an activity LED, and when this LED is flashing, it indicates that the drive is in use.
  • Hard disk drive status LEDs (yellow):This yellow LED is used on hot-swap SAS/SATA hard disk drives. Each hot-swap hard disk drive has a status LED. When this LED is lit, it indicates that the drive has failed. When this LED is flashing slowly (one flash per second), it indicates that the drive is being rebuilt as part of a RAID configuration. When the LED is flashing rapidly (three flashes per second), it indicates that the controller is identifying the drive.
  • Operator information panel: This panel contains the power control button and light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
