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.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

 

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.
