Sometimes after replacing a drive the LED light for the drive still blinks red, this can be reset from the Console menu which can be accessed via IPMI Remote Console or with a keyboard and monitor directly attached to the server.


  • Once in the console menu press "ctrl-alt-w". Accept the warning and type in your system password, please note the screen will not show you typing in the password.
  • When in the Hardware Configuration menu navigate down to "Management of LEDs in disk chassis".

  • Scroll down to "Turn off location LEDs for disks" and hit "Ok".

  • This will turnoff all location LED's that are blinking, please note that the LED location will work from the GUI still after.
