NVMe SSD LED definitions
The NVMe SSD 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 SSD 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 SSD
before the device has completed and ceased signal/traffic flow can cause loss of data.
