Diagnostic indicators on the front panel

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

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 turned on and in good health. The indicator flashes amber if the system is turned on or in standby, and if any issue occurs (for example, a failed fan or hard drive). Item 2 is the hard drive indicator, that flashes amber if an error occurs related to hard drive. Item 3 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 4 is the temperature indicator that flashes amber if a thermal error occurs (for example, a temperature out of range or fan failure). Item 5 is the memory indicator that flashes amber if a memory error occurs. Item 6 is the PCIe indicator that flashes amber if an error occurs related to PCIe card.
Icon	Description	Condition	Corrective action
	Health indicator	The indicator turns solid blue if the system is in good health.	None required.
		The indicator flashes amber: When the system is turned on. When the system is in standby. If any error condition exists. For example, a failed fan, PSU, or a hard drive.	Check the System Event Log or system messages for the specific issue. For more information about error messages, see the Dell Event and Error Messages Reference Guide at Dell.com/openmanagemanuals > OpenManage software.
			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.
	Memory indicator	The indicator flashes amber if a memory error occurs.	Check the system event log or system messages for the location of the failed memory. Reseat the memory module. If the problem persists, see the Getting help section.
