dikkiedirk Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Do these LEDs light with all disk? So far I haven't seen any LED lit. Link to comment
dikkiedirk Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Mine do. Do you use the CSE-M35T cage, If yes which disks? Is it disk-dependant whether the activity LEDs light up? Link to comment
warhead Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Mine light up green when a drive is accessed but there's no LED for just being "on" Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment
dikkiedirk Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Culd you say which disks you use? I have some older Samsungs in it, and no lights at all. Also just datacable from an M1015 and powercable hooked up to the cage Link to comment
StevenD Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Mine do like Warheads, light up when there is activity. I have used Hitachi 2TB, Samsung 1TB, Seagate 1.5TB and HP SAS 146GB SAS drives. All work the same way. Link to comment

Also just datacable from an M1015 and powercable hooked up to the cage Some older drives don't send the right signals for the led to work. Some new seagates send the wrong signal so the led reverses (if multi colored) Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment
Johnm Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 The new seagate do have a firmware fix. As far as older drives. I have no issue with any sata2 or sata3 drive. I have tried several models. Never tried a sata1 model. The fail light won't work without a compatible raid card and an alarm cable connected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
moose Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have a test server with two drives (parity and data) that are both installed in a CSE-M35T cage. Running unRAID 5.0-rc6-r8168-test2 Parity = Seagate ST3000DM001-9YN166, type = SATA 3.0, firmware = CC46 Data = Seagate ST2000DL003-9VT166, type = SATA 3.0, firmware = CC3C The data drive LED functions properly (green with activity, dark (non-lit) with no-activity), however the parity drive LED is constantly green. The unRAID web interface (main tab) indicates the parity drive is spun down however the LED is constantly green. I'm going to see if I can determine if the LED goes dark with activity (reversed condition mentioned above). Do you think the parity drive might need a firmware update to properly function with the CSE-M35T cage LED? Link to comment
onehunghig Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 moose to fix your Seagate ST3000DM001-9YN166_W1F067ZV, type = SATA 3.0, firmware = CC46 you need to update your FW to CC4H which you can download from seagate Link to comment
moose Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Thank you onehunghig! Upgrading the Seagate ST3000DM001-9YN166 drive firmware to CC4H solved the LED problem! Link to comment
dikkiedirk Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have 3 disks inside a CSE-M35T and those lights just flash on/off ever 1-2 seconds. With no SATA cables attached at the moment. The other thwo are out with a disk inside. Is that normal behaviour? Link to comment
