Hard Disk Drive Lamp

Blinking green
Indicates that the hard disk drive is accessed.
Lighting amber
Indicates that the installed hard disk drive is defected in the disk array configuration.

failed hard disk drive and auto-rebuild (reconfigure) the hard disk
drives as soon as possible. (You can hot-swap such a failed hard disk
drive.)

Indicates that the hard disk drive is being rebuilt (this status is not a failure). If the
defected hard disk drive is replaced with a new one in the disk array configuration, the
data is automatically rebuilt (auto rebuild function). During the rebuild process, the lamp
is lit green or amber alternately.
The lamp goes off when the rebuild is completed normally. The lamp goes on amber if the
rebuild fails.

before installing the hard disk drive back again.
Do not replace another hard disk drive while rebuilding is in
progress.
