Intel® Compute Module MFS5000SI User Guide
Diagnostic LED Information
The Intel® Compute Module MFS5000SI includes a number of diagnostic LEDs on the
front of the compute module that can aid in troubleshooting your system. The following
table lists these LEDs along with a usage description of each LED.
Table 2. Diagnostic LED Information
BIOS POST Beep Codes
At the beginning of the server boot-up process, the BIOS runs a power-on self test (POST)
routine to check various system components for proper function. Prior to system video
initialization, if POST encounters a fatal system error, such as a processor problem,
memory problem or video controller problem, the BIOS will trigger a series of patterned
beep codes to indicate the error conditions.
LED Name
Function
Color
Indicator
Power LED
Identifies power state of
system
Green
Off = Power is off
On = Power on
Slow Blink = Power is in
standby or sleeping mode
Fault LED
Identifies fault warning
Amber
Off = No Fault
On = Critical error or non-
recoverable
Slow blink = Non-critical
Fast blink = Locate (when
device does not have an ID
LED)
Double blink = Degraded
state
ID LED
Provides an aid in
identifying a compute
module from the front
panel
Blue
Use the Intel® Modular
Server Control software to
activate or inactivate the
LED.
Drive activity
LED
Indicates drive activity
Green
Off = No drive activity
Blink = Drive activity
NIC1—2 LEDs
Indicates network activity
and link
Green
Blink = Outbound activity
I/O 1 - I/O 2
Activity LEDs
Indicates network activity
and link of NICs on I/O
mezzanine card
Green
Off = No link
On = Link established
Blink = Activity
