3 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 • NIC indicator codes • Power supply unit indicator codes • Drive indicator codes • System diagnostics Status LED indicators NOTE: The indicators display solid amber if any error occurs. Table 23. Status LED indicators and descriptions Icon Description Condition Drive indicator 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, memory module blank, or back filler bracket is removed. • Ambient temperature is too high. • External airflow is obstructed. If the problem persists, see Getting help. Electrical indicator Memory indicator The indicator turns solid amber if the system experiences an electrical error (for example, voltage out of range, or a failed power supply unit (PSU) or voltage regulator). Check the System Event Log or system messages for the specific issue. If it is due to a problem with the PSU, check the LED on the PSU. Reseat the PSU. If the problem persists, see Getting help.

Description
Condition
Corrective action
Drive
indicator
The indicator turns solid amber if
there is a drive error.
•
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, memory module blank, or back filler bracket
is removed.
•
Ambient temperature is too high.
•
External airflow is obstructed.

Electrical
indicator
The indicator turns solid amber if
the system experiences an
electrical error (for example,
voltage out of range, or a failed
power supply unit (PSU) or
voltage regulator).
Check the System Event Log or system messages for the specific issue. If
it is due to a problem with the PSU, check the LED on the PSU. Reseat the
PSU.
If the problem persists, see
Getting help
.
Memory
indicator
The indicator turns solid amber if a
memory error occurs.
Check the System Event Log or system messages for the location of the
failed memory. Reseat the memory module.
If the problem persists, see
Getting help
.
PCIe
indicator
The indicator turns solid amber if a
PCIe card experiences an error.
Restart the system. Update any required drivers for the PCIe card.
Reinstall the card.
If the problem persists, see
