Table 1-2 Front Panel LEDs, Definitions of States

LED Name
State

Hard drive fault
  • Off—The hard drive is operating properly.
  • Amber—This hard drive has failed.
  • Amber, blinking—The device is rebuilding.

Hard drive activity

  • Off—There is no hard drive in the hard drive sled (no access, no fault).
  • Green—The hard drive is ready.
  • Green, blinking—The hard drive is reading or writing data.

Network link activity
  • Off—The Ethernet link is idle.
  • Green—One or more Ethernet LOM ports are link-active, but there is no activity.
  • Green, blinking—One or more Ethernet LOM ports are link-active, with activity.

Power supply status
  • Green—All power supplies are operating normally.
  • Amber, steady—One or more power supplies are in a degraded operational state.
  • Amber, blinking—One or more power supplies are in a critical fault state.

Temperature status
  • Green—The server is operating at normal temperature.
  • Amber, steady—One or more temperature sensors have exceeded a warning threshold.
  • Amber, blinking—One or more temperature sensors have exceeded a critical threshold.

Fan status
  • Green—All fan modules are operating properly.
  • Amber, steady—One fan module has failed.
  • Amber, blinking—Critical fault, two or more fan modules have failed.

System status
  • Green—The server is running in normal operating condition.
  • Green, blinking—The server is performing system initialization and memory check.
  • Amber, steady—The server is in a degraded operational state. For example:

– Power supply redundancy is lost.

– CPUs are mismatched.

– At least one CPU is faulty.

– At least one DIMM is faulty.

– At least one drive in a RAID configuration failed.

  • Amber, blinking—The server is in a critical fault state. For example:

– Boot failed.

– Fatal CPU and/or bus error is detected.

– Server is in over-temperature condition.

Identification
  • Off—The Identification LED is not in use.
  • Blue—The Identification LED is activated.

Power button/Power status LED
  • Off—There is no AC power to the server.
  • Amber—The server is in standby power mode. Power is supplied only to the CIMC and some motherboard functions.
  • Green—The server is in main power mode. Power is supplied to all server components.

LED Name
State

Power supply fault

  • Off—The power supply is operating normally.

Amber, blinking—An event warning threshold has been reached, but the power supply continues to operate.

  • Amber, solid—A critical fault threshold has been reached, causing the power supply to shut down (for example, a fan failure or an over-temperature condition).

Power supply AC OK

AC power supplies:

  • Off—There is no AC power to the power supply.
  • Green, blinking—AC power OK, DC output not enabled.
  • Green, solid—AC power OK, DC outputs OK.

DC power supplies:

  • Off—There is no DC power to the power supply.
  • Green, blinking—DC power OK, DC output not enabled.
  • Green, solid—DC power OK, DC outputs OK.

1-Gb Ethernet dedicated management link speed
  • Off—link speed is 10 Mbps.
  • Amber—link speed is 100 Mbps.
  • Green—link speed is 1 Gbps.

1-Gb Ethernet dedicated management link status
  • Off—No link is present.
  • Green—Link is active.
  • Green, blinking—Traffic is present on the active link.

1-Gb Ethernet link speed
  • Off—link speed is 10 Mbps.
  • Amber—link speed is 100 Mbps.
  • Green—link speed is 1 Gbps.

1-Gb Ethernet link status
  • Off—No link is present.
  • Green—Link is active.
  • Green, blinking—Traffic is present on the active link.

Identification
  • Off—The Identification LED is not in use.
  • Blue—The Identification LED is activated.
