Will the iDRAC Direct LED indicator light up in USB mode?

The iDRAC Direct LED indicator functions based on certain operational modes. In USB mode, its design dictates that it will not illuminate. This characteristic is established to indicate the primary operational state of the device. When in USB mode, the intention is to prioritize USB communication and management of the system rather than signaling operational status through the LED.

In contrast, other modes may allow different functionalities and visibility through the indicators, but USB mode specifically disables the LED light for clarity regarding the operation at that moment. This ensures that users have a clear understanding of the device’s functionality without possible confusion that the LED could cause while in USB operation.
