RocketRAID Chassis LED Configuration Guide
Introduction The HighPoint RocketRAID series host adapters offer support for activity and failed LED support for rack mount chassis. This guide will instruct you on setting up activity and failed LED for Ci Design rack mount chassis with their latest SATA backplane.
Installation for Activity LED There are two options to configure the activity LED support: 1. Option One: Support from the HighPoint RocketRAID SATA Controller A. RocketRAID (2220,1820A and 2320) 2. Option Two: Support from the SATA II Hard Disk Drives A. Western Digital – All drive models B. Maxtor – DiamondMax 10 and MaXLine III C. Hitachi Deskstar – 7K500 (Kurofune-II), T7K250 (Vancouver-IV), 7K80(Pathfinder-I)
Option One: HighPoint RocketRAID SATA Controller

RocketRAID Chassis LED Configuration Guide Instructions: Turn pin 1 on SW2 to the “ON” position. SW2 is the blue switch.
Install the activity LED cable onto J13 of the backplane. The cable on the connector corresponds to the port number on the controller card and backplane.
Install the activity LED cable to the RocketRAID SATA Controller. The even-numbered pins located on the upper row are the 3.3V for the anode side of each LED to be connected. The odd numbered pins are the return or cathode. Connect Yellow/Orange/Red/Brown wired to cathode side of LED signal pair.
