Diagnostic indicators

The diagnostic indicators on the system front panel display error status during system startup.

NOTE: No diagnostic indicators are lit when the system is switched off. To start the system, plug it into a working power source and press the power button.

The following table describes the system conditions and possible corrective actions associated with the diagnostic indicators.

Table 1. Diagnostic indicatorsItem 1 is the health indicator, that indicates the health status of the system. The indicator turns solid blue if the system is on and in good health. The indicator flashes amber if the system is on or in standby, and if any issue occurs (for example, a failed fan or hard drive). Item 2 is the electrical indicator that flashes amber if an electrical error occurs (for example, voltage out of range, or a failed power supply unit or voltage regulator). Item 3 is the temperature indicator that flashes amber if a thermal error occurs (for example, temperature out of range or fan failure). Item 4 is the PCIe indicator that flashes amber if an error occurs related to PCIe card.
	Health indicator
	Condition	Corrective Action
	If the system is on, and in good health, the indicator lights solid blue.	None required.
	The indicator blinks amber if the system is on or in standby, and any error exists (for example, a failed fan or hard drive)	See the CMC Log or system messages for the specific issue.
	Electrical indicator
	Condition	Corrective Action
	The indicator blinks amber if the system experiences an electrical error (for example, voltage out of range, or a failed power supply or voltage regulator).	See the CMC Chassis Log or system messages for the specific issue. If it is due to a problem with the power supply, check the LED on the power supply. Reseat the power supply by removing and reinstalling it. If the problem persists, see Getting Help.
	Temperature indicator
	Condition	Corrective Action
	The indicator blinks amber if the system experiences a thermal error (for example, a temperature out of range or fan failure).	Ensure that none of the following conditions exist: A cooling fan is removed or has failed. The 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 Getting Help.
	PCIe indicator
	Condition	Corrective Action
	The indicator blinks amber if a PCIe card experiences an error.	Restart the sled. Update any required drivers for the PCIe card. Reinstall the card. If the problem persists, see Getting Help.
