Smart Carrier NVMe (SCN) drive LED definitions
The NVMe drive is a PCIe bus device. A device attached to a PCIe bus cannot be removed without allowing the device and bus to complete and cease the signal/traffic flow.
CAUTION: Do not remove an NVMe drive from the drive bay while the Do not remove LED is flashing. The Do not remove LED flashes to indicate that the device is still in use. Removing the NVMe drive before the device has completed and ceased signal/traffic flow can cause loss of data.
