In this embodiment, the cathode end of the second illuminating element 422 is coupled to the cathode end of the first diode 411, and receives the first control signal cS1. In addition, the anode end of the second light-emitting element 422 is coupled to the cathode end of the third diode 413 and receives the second control signal CS2. In contrast, the anode end and the cathode end of the third light emitting element 423 are coupled to the cathode end and the anode end of the second illuminating element 422, respectively. Since the second illuminating element 422 and the third illuminating element 423 are reversed from each other, the second illuminating element 422 and the third illuminating element 423 can display a corresponding hard state according to the state of the first control signal CS1 and the second control signal CS2. The status of the disc device. Hereinafter, a plurality of embodiments will be described, and the second light-emitting element 422 and the third light-emitting element 423 are used to display the state of the corresponding hard disk device. Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 again, the following description is exemplified by the hard disk device 460, and those skilled in the art should be able to apply it to the multiple hard disk system 3 of FIG. It is assumed that when the hard disk device 460 has not been activated (power 〇 ff), the states of the first control signal csi and the second control signal CS2 can be maintained at a high potential (H), so that the first light-emitting element 422 and the third None of the light-emitting elements 423 are turned on. Relatively, when the hard disk device 460 is powered up, the motherboard controlling the hard disk device 460 can make the first control signal CS1 low (L)' and make the control signal CS2 high. Potential (η). At this time, the second light-emitting element 422 will be illuminated, and the third light-emitting element 423 will not be turned on. 12 12 12004twf.doc/n 201003642 In another case, it is assumed that the job lock in the hard disk 46〇 is performed ( In the case of system lock, both the first control signal (3) and the second control signal CS2 can be switched to the low potential (L), so that neither the second light-emitting element milk nor the third light-emitting element 423 is turned on and thus does not illuminate. - Although several embodiments are provided in Fig. 5, the use of the second illuminating element 422 and the third illuminating element 423 to indicate the state of the corresponding hard device is not limited thereto. The general knowledge in the art is to operate the state of the (4)th signal (3) and the ^^ control signal CS2 according to the actual situation. For example, when the hard disk device is being read and written, the user can also continuously switch the control signal polarity so that the state of the light source is turned off to inform the time-state. In summary, the control circuit and the lamp number of the hard disk light of the present invention can drive the light-emitting components of the hard disk and the motherboard according to the control signal, so that there is no hard disk with the light signal in the non-working state. The motherboard, so users can clearly understand the status of the motherboard and hard drive. In addition, the display status of the light can also display the real state of more hard disks or the motherboard by a combination of different light numbers, for example, the lighted number two is illuminated, for example, in motion, locked. Or an error has occurred. Therefore, the present invention does not clearly understand the operation of the hard disk, and can improve the flexibility of the (4) lamp. 1~ Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention, and any skilled person skilled in the art can make some modifications and retouchings without departing from the spirit of the invention.
