11.3 LED Indicators
Each disk drive carrier has two LED indicators visible from the front of the system. One is a green LED
for disk activity and the other is a bicolor (green/amber) LED for status information. The activity LED
is driven by the disk drive during normal operation. The bicolor LED is controlled by the SEP device
on the backplane. Both LEDs are used to indicate certain conditions under direction of a storage
controller. For more information, see the Hard-Drive Indicator Patterns in the About Your System
chapter of the PowerEdge R815 Hardware Owner’s Manual on Support.Dell.com/Manuals
.
11.4 Optical Drives
Optical drives are optional in all PowerEdge R815 systems and connect to the planar via the SATA
interface. The following internal slim-line drives are available on PowerEdge R815: DVD-ROM and
DVD+RW. PATA (IDE) optical drives are not supported. If an optical drive is not ordered with the
system, a blank is installed in its place.
