Blinking light on MSA

donkarnash_1 — Wed, 18 May 2005 00:02:41 GMT

Hi I have got a DL580 G2 which has the Modular Smart Array 30 attached to it. The MSA contains 4 HDD + 4 HDD on the server. At the bottom right of the SMA, there is a constant blinking light (lifeline light)
Could someone know what would that be for. Thanks

There are 3 Enclosure status indicators. The top one is the EMU indicator.
A blinking light shows that the EMU is fine.

So, yes, I am sure ;-)

Hm, didn't you receive a CD-ROM set with the MSA1000? Anyway, here is a link to the MSA1000 docs:
