Diagnosing array problems
Controller board runtime LEDs
Immediately after the server is powered up, 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, as described in the following
table.
LED ID
Color

1
Green
CR502: Expander Heartbeat LED. This LED flashes every 2 seconds during
normal operation. Abnormal conditions are indicated as follows:
If the LED glows steadily, the expander has an internal problem.
If the LED flashes twice per second, the NVRAM is corrupt.
In either case, the expander does not function.

Amber
CR510: System Error LED.
3
Amber
CR509: Diagnostics Error LED.

Amber
CR500: Drive Failure LED. A physical drive connected to the controller has failed.
Check the Fault LED on each drive to determine which drive has failed.
5
Green
CR508: Activity LED for SAS port 4I.
6
Green
CR507: Activity LED for SAS port 3I.
7
Green
CR506: Command Outstanding LED. The controller is working on a command
from the host driver.
8
Green
CR505: Controller Heartbeat LED. This LED flashes every 2 seconds to indicate
the controller health.
