Troubleshooting

Diagnostic LEDs

NOTE: The diagnostic LEDs only serve as an indicator of the progress through the Power-on Self-Test (POST) process. These LEDs do not indicate the problem that caused the POST routine to stop.

The diagnostic LEDs are located on the front of the chassis next to the power button. These diagnostic LEDs are only active and visible during the POST process. Once the operating system starts to load, they turn off and are no longer visible.

The system now includes pre-POST and POST LEDs in an attempt to help identifying a possible problem with the system easier and more accurate.

NOTE: The diagnostic lights will blink when the power button is amber or off, and will not blink when it is blue. This has no other significance.
