LED Name

 

State

 

 

 

Power supply status

Green, steady—The power supply is operating normally and supplying AC power

 

 

 

to the server.

 

 

Green, blinking—The power supply is off and in cold-redundancy mode.

 

 

 

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, steady—A critical fault threshold has been reached, causing the power

 

 

 

supply to shut down.

 

 

 

10/100/1000 Ethernet link speed

Off—Link speed is 10 Mbps.

 

 

Green—Link speed is 100 Mbps.

 

 

 

10/100/1000 Ethernet link status

Off—No link is present.

 

 

Green—Link is active.

 

 

Green, blinking—Traffic is present on the active link.

 

 

 

 

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 an over-temperature condition.

 

 

 

10-Gb Ethernet link speed

Off—Link speed is 10 Mbps.

 

 

Green—Link speed is 10 Gbps.

 

 

 

10-Gb Ethernet 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.
