Chapter 3 Maintaining the Server

Status LEDs and Buttons

Internal Diagnostic LEDs

The server is equipped with a supercap voltage source that can activate internal component fault LEDs up to 30 minutes after AC power is removed. The server has internal fault LEDs for fan modules, CPU sockets, DIMM sockets, the motherboard RTC battery, PCIe sockets, TPM socket, I/O riser socket, and SD cards.

To use these LEDs to identify a failed component, press the front or rear identification button with AC power removed (see Figure 3-1or Figure 3-2for the identification button location). See Figure 3-3for the locations of these internal LEDs.
