SAN Volume Controller 2145-92F expansion enclosure LEDs and indicators
The 2145-92F expansion enclosure has several sets of LEDs that provide information about the overall status of the enclosure, power, drives, fans, canisters, and SAS connections.
A 2145-92F expansion enclosure has sets of LEDs on the front and rear of the enclosure. Inside of the expansion enclosure, LEDs also indicate the status of the drives and each secondary expander module.
LEDs on the front of the expansion enclosure

The display panel ( 1 ) contains three LEDs that describe the operational status of the expansion enclosure. Table 1 describes the function and meaning of the LEDs on the front display panel.
| Function | Color | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power | Green | On | The expansion enclosure power is on; this LED is controlled by the expansion enclosure. |
| Off | The expansion enclosure power is off. | ||
| Identify | Blue | On | Identifies the expansion enclosure; this LED is controlled by the system. Use the management GUI or service interface to identify an enclosure. |
| Off | The expansion enclosure is operating normally. | ||
| Enclosure fault | Amber | On | The expansion enclosure is coming up or a fault is detected against a component within the enclosure. |
| Off | No faults are detected. |
The 2145-92F expansion enclosure contains two PSUs ( 4 in Figure 1) that are accessible from the front of the enclosure. Each PSU has its own a set of LEDs, as shown in Figure 2.

Table 2 explains the function and status that is indicated by each of the LEDs. The power cords for each PSU are accessible from the rear of the expansion enclosure ( 1 ), as shown in Figure 5.
| Function | Color | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Input power | Green | On | The input voltage is within specification. |
| Off | No power input detected. | ||
| 2 DC power | Green | On | DC power outputs are within specification. |
| Off | DC power is not available. | ||
| 3 Fault | Amber | On | A fault is detected in the PSU. |
| Off | No faults are detected. |
LEDs inside of the expansion enclosure
Each of the drives and secondary expansion modules within the 2145-92F expansion enclosure has two LED indicators. To view the drives and secondary expansion modules, you must remove the cover of the enclosure, as described in Removing the top cover: 2145-92F.
Figure 3 shows the components of a drive assembly. Each drive has an online indicator ( 2 ) and fault indicator ( 3 ).

Table 3 describes the meaning of the LEDs on each drive.
| Function | Color | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Activity | Green | On | The drive is ready to be used. |
| Flashing | The drive is operating and I/O is occurring. | ||
| Off | The drive is not installed or an installed drive is not ready to be used. | ||
| 3 Fault | Amber | On | A fault occurred on the drive. The LED is turned off when the drive is removed and replaced. |
| Flash | The drive is being identified, a fault might or might not be detected. | ||
| Off | The installed drive is operating normally. |
Figure 4 shows the LEDs on a secondary expansion module.

Table 4 describes the meaning of the LEDs on each secondary expansion module.
| Function | Color | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Power | Green | On | The secondary expansion module is receiving power. |
| Flashing | Not used. | ||
| Off | The secondary expansion module is not receiving power. | ||
| 2 Fault | Amber | On | Not used. |
| Flash | The secondary expansion module is being identified. | ||
| Off | The secondary expansion module is operating normally. |
LEDs on the rear of the expansion enclosure
Figure 5 shows the rear view of a 2145-92F expansion enclosure. LEDs on the rear of the enclosure provide information about each fan module, each expansion canister, and SAS links.

The expansion enclosure has four fans. Each fan has one LED; for example, Figure 5 shows the location of the LED ( 5 ) for fan number four. When a fan is operating normally, the LED is not lit. If a fault is detected, the amber LED is lit.
As Figure 5 also shows, the expansion enclosure contains two expansion canisters. Each expansion canister contains its own set of LEDs, as shown in Figure 6. The LEDs provide status information about the expansion canister itself and the SAS connections.

Table 5 describes the values and meaning of each LED.
| Name | Color | State | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Canister fault | Amber | Off | Normal operation. |
| On | A fault was detected. | ||
| Flashing | The expansion canister is being identified. A fault might or might not be detected. | ||
| 2 Canister status | Green | Off | Canister is off. |
| On | Normal operation. | ||
| Flashing | A vital product data (VPD) error occurred. | ||
| 3 Canister power | Green | Off | Canister is off. |
| On | Canister is receiving power. | ||
| 4 and 6 SAS link fault | Amber | Off | No faults are detected. All four phys have a link connection. |
| On | Several error conditions are possible: |
||
| 5 and 7 SAS link operational | Green | Off | No link connection on any lane. The connection is down. |
| On | The SAS link is active. At least one of the four lanes is connected. |
