Status LED indicators
NOTE:
The indicators display solid amber if any error occurs.
Table 5. Status LED indicators and descriptions
Icon
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.
If the problem persists, see
Getting help
.
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
Getting help
.
