           OFF  Both SSA connectors are inactive. If disk drive modules
                or other SSA adapters are connected to these connectors,
                either those modules or adapters are failing, or their
                SSA links are not active.

            ON  Both SSA link are active (normal operating condition).

    SLOW FLASH  Only one SSA link is active.
