Enclosure Drive LED Status Indicators

If you have a supported enclosure or chassis, the LEDs on your enclosure may be able to provide some status information about your drives and units. (You can find a list of supported enclosures from the Data & Interoperability tab, on
http://www.lsi.com/channel/support/marketing_resources.)


	Note: The following table is an example of how LEDs may be used. Check with your chassis or enclosure documentation for more details. Not all features may be supported or implemented in the same way on all chassis.
