      Viewing LED Sensors

      Procedure
        Step 1   In the Navigation pane, click the Server menu.
        Step 2   On the Server tab, click Sensors.
        Step 3   In the Sensors pane, click the LEDs tab.
        Step 4   View the following LED-related statistics for the server:
        Name Description

        Sensor Name column

        The name of the sensor. This can be one of the following:

        • LED_HLTH_STATUS—Status sensor (not a physical LED), shows the overall health of the system.

        • LED_DIMM_STATUS—Status sensor (not a physical LED), shows the health of the DIMM.

        • LED_CPU_STATUS—Status sensor (not a physical LED), shows the health of the CPU.

        • LED_SYS_ACT—System activity, indicates if the system is powered on and has finished booting.
          Note   

          Not displayed for the NIM E-Series NCE.

        LED State column

        Whether the LED is on, blinking, or off.

        LED Color column

        The current color of the LED.

        For details about what the colors mean, see the hardware installation guide for the type of server you are using.

        Viewing Storage Sensors

        Procedure
          Step 1   In the Navigation pane, click the Server menu.
          Step 2   On the Server tab, click Sensors.
          Step 3   In the Sensors pane, click the Storage tab.
          Step 4   View the following storage-related statistics for the server:
          Name Description

          Name column

          The name of the storage device. This can be:

          HDDX_PRS—Indicates the presence or absence of each hard drive.

          Status column

          A brief description of the status of the storage device.

          LED Status column

          The current LED color, if any.

          To make the physical LED on the storage device blink, select Turn On from the drop-down list. To let the storage device control whether the LED blinks, select Turn Off.
