Dell PowerEdge R620 Owner's Manual

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

The following section describes system conditions and possible corrective actions associated with these indicators:

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 System Event 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. Re-seat 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.
• 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.

Memory indicator

Condition

Corrective Action

The indicator blinks amber if a memory error occurs.

See the system event log or system messages for the location of the failed memory. Reinstall the memory device. If the problem persists, see Getting Help.
