Power on LED: This green LED indicates the power status of the blade server as follows: v Flashing rapidly - The service processor on the blade server is communicating with the BladeCenter Advanced Management Module. v Flashing slowly - The blade server has power but is not turned on. v Lit continuously (steady) - The blade server has power and is turned on. v Not lit. Either the BladeCenter unit is powered off, or a power failure has occurred on the blade server or the BladeCenter unit. NMI reset button If the operating system has been installed, pressing this with a paper clip or pin causes the operating system to call the system debugger. Note: The blade error LED, information LED, and location LED can be turned off through the BladeCenter Management Module Web interface. For additional information about errors, see "Problems indicated by the front panel LEDs" on page 60. System board LEDs The BladeCenter QS21 has status LEDs on the system board to indicate the health of various components. Some are within the light box while others are in different location. A lit LEDs indicates an error condition. Complete information about the LEDs can be found in the Problem Determination and Service Guide. To find out what if any errors have occurred on the system board, you must: 1. Remove the blade server from the BladeCenter unit 2. Open the cover 3. Press the light path diagnostics switch This lights any error LEDs that were turned on during processing. It also lights a green LED to indicate the capacitor is charged and the light path diagnostics system is operating. Figure 5 on page 13 shows the location of the light path LEDs and the diagnostics switch. 12 QS21 Installation and User's Guide
