Power LED issue

Power LED is not flashing amber on ChengMing 3977 and Optiplex D8 and OptiPlex D8 AIO platforms.

ChengMing 3977 and OptiPlex D8 and D8 AIO platforms without processor installed or when processor power cable is not connected; it may not have the power LED flashing amber as the diagnostic indicator. The BIOS behavior specification defines that:
  1. If no processor is installed in the system, the power LED should flash amber in pattern of 2-3
  2. If no processor cable is connected in the system, the power LED should flash amber in pattern of 2-2

Do not replace any hardware, it works as per the design. With the Boot guard (BtG) feature of Intel ME11.6, when processor power or processor is missing, then the system will shut down.

  • ChengMing 3977
  • OptiPlex 3050/5050/7050
