PowerEdge R210 II Amber Blinking Light
Hello all,
I have a PowerEdge R210 II that has an amber light blinking on it. I'm trying to figure out what the issue is, but I can't seem to find a way to do so.
I was trying to install the OpenManage Essentials, but it doesn't seem to be working out and it's starting to annoy me (the installation alone annoyed me...). Is there a way I can see what the issue is without having to install a load of software?
Thanks in advance!

You don't want OpenManage Essentials - that is for a completely different purpose. You need to install OpenManage Server Administrator (Managed Node):
www.dell.com/.../poweredge-r210-2
Download and run to extract the files, then run C:\Openmanage\windows\setup.exe. Add yourservernameoripaddress:1311 to IE's Intranet Zone.
Once open, go to System, then the Logs tab (make sure sub-tab says Hardware) ... to see the Hardware Log entries.

Hello avdf
If there is an error light on the system then the error should be reported to the hardware/system log on the iDRAC/BMC. You can view the log by booting to the iDRAC/BMC via CTL E or by installing one of our management utilities like OMSA:
http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER00333144M/1/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-WIN-7.0.0-4741_A00.exe
OME is a monitoring application to manage multiple servers. It has several installation requirements. OMSA has install requirement, but is easier to install and use than OME. OMSA is designed to manage the server it is installed on.
Thanks
