Dell 2 Interpreting LED Colors and Blinking Patterns

If an NTP server setting was configured with an invalid host name, you may see a trace log entry as
follows:
Aug 21 14:34:27 cmc ntpd_initres[1298]: host name not found: blabla Aug 21
14:34:27 cmc ntpd_initres[1298]: couldn't resolve `blabla', giving up on it
For information on how to enter the gettracelog command to review the trace log using the CMC
Web interface, see Using Diagnostic Console.
Interpreting LED Colors and Blinking Patterns
The LEDs on the chassis provide the following status of a component:
• Steadily glowing green LEDs indicate that the component is turned on. If the green LED is blinking, it
indicates a critical but routine event, such as a firmware upload, during which the unit is not
operational. It does not indicate a fault.
• A blinking amber LED on a module indicates a fault on that module.
• Blue, blinking LEDs are configurable by the user and used for identification. For more information
about configuration, see Configuring LEDs to Identify Components on the Chassis.
