8 System diagnostics and indicator codes The diagnostic indicators on the system front panel display system status during system startup. Topics: • Status LED indicators • System health and system ID indicator codes • iDRAC Quick Sync 2 indicator codes • iDRAC Direct LED indicator codes • LCD panel • NIC indicator codes • Power supply unit indicator codes • Drive indicator codes • Using system diagnostics Status LED indicators NOTE: The indicators display solid amber if any error occurs. Figure 117. Status LED indicators Table 78. Status LED indicators and descriptions Icon Description Drive indicator Condition The indicator turns solid amber if there is a drive error. Corrective action • Check the System Event Log to determine if the drive has an error. • Run the appropriate Online Diagnostics test. Restart the system and run embedded diagnostics (ePSA). • If the drives are configured in a RAID array, restart the system, and enter the host adapter configuration utility program. Temperature indicator The indicator turns solid amber if the system experiences a thermal error (for example, the ambient temperature is out of range or there is a fan failure). Ensure that none of the following conditions exist: • A cooling fan has been removed or has failed. • System cover, air shroud, or back filler bracket is removed. • Ambient temperature is too high. • External airflow is obstructed. If the problem persists, see the Getting help section. 152 System diagnostics and indicator codes
