The indicator flashes amber:
- When the
system is turned on.
- When the
system is in standby.

The POST process is interrupted without any video output due to invalid memory configurations. See the Getting help section.
|
| Hard drive indicator
| The indicator flashes amber if there is a hard drive error.
| Check the System Event Log to determine the hard drive that has an error. Run the appropriate Online Diagnostics test. Restart the
system and run embedded diagnostics (ePSA).
If the hard drives are configured in a RAID array, restart the
system and enter the host adapter configuration utility program. |
| Electrical indicator
| The indicator flashes 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 the Getting help section.
|
| Temperature indicator
| The indicator flashes amber if the
system experiences a thermal error (for example, the ambient temperature is out of range or fan failure).
| Ensure that none of the following conditions exist:
- A cooling fan has been removed or has failed.
- System cover,
cooling shroud, EMI filler panel, memory module blank, or back filler bracket is removed.
- Ambient temperature is too high.
- External airflow is obstructed.
See the Getting help section.
