Re: DL580 G3 hardisk light blinking.
An orange blinking light, is a pre-failure alert. The drive is running at the moment, but is likely to fail soon.
It should be replaced as soon as you can.
Cheers,
Rob

Re: DL580 G3 hardisk light blinking.
You could try just reseating the drive and see if that helps.
You should check that the disk is part of a RAID array before you do this though...
Cheers,
Rob

Re: DL580 G3 hardisk light blinking.
The drive will probably fail soon. You can even replace the bad drive with a known good but used one, if you don't want to use a "new" drive ;-)
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
