Controller board runtime LEDs
Immediately after you power up the server, the controller runtime LEDs illuminate briefly in a
predetermined pattern as part of the POST sequence. At all other times during server operation, the
illumination pattern of the runtime LEDs indicates the status of the controller. To determine the controller
status, see the appropriate controller-specific section.
