Why Is My ioDrive's Red Light On?

When the ioDrive is first powered on, the red LED light turns on.  (It is amber on newer ioDrives.)  This is normal.  The red light will turn off once the ioDrive driver software loads successfully. If the driver is not set to load, or does not load properly, then the red light does not turn off.  In that case, reinstallation of the Fusion-io software may be necessary.  Remove any previously installed Fusion-io software packages, reboot, and then install again.  See the User Guide under Support driver downloads for in-depth instructions.  The description of all valid LED color combinations is found in the ioDrive User Guide for Linux or the Knowledgebase article entitled "Understanding the ioDrive External LEDs".
