I'm running a ProLiant DL380 G7. All is well. No warning or failure lights. All 8 drive bays are occupied and all disks are operating fine.
However, the green (and blue) LEDs on the drive in bay 7 is not as bright at the LEDs on all the other disks. I moved the disk in bay 7 to another bay and got normal brightness. I put a different drive in bay 7 and got reduced brightness. So it's not the disks which are the issue, it's the bay itself. Or whatever the electonics are inside the bay which supply power to the drive's LEDs.
My question is, does this reduced LED brightness mean anything sinister? Is it a sign that something is failing? Is there something I can check or do about it? Anyone seen this situation before?
Thanks in advance for any useful feedback.
