Drives on Lenovo Storage V series systems have two light-emitting diode (LED) indicators each; they have no controls or connectors.
The drive indicator LEDs on all Lenovo Storage V series systems use the same color and flashing patterns for both sizes of drives. Figure 1 shows the location of the LEDs on a 3.5-inch drive.
Figure 2 shows the location of the LEDs on a 2.5-inch drive.
Table 1 lists the status descriptions for the two LEDs.
