Server Does Not Power On, Front Panel LEDs

Troubleshooting

Common Installation Problems

9. Boot the server and if it does not function properly, refer to the following procedures.

The Server Does Not Power On

Use these steps to check for power related problems:

1.Check each bulk power supply’s (BPS) LED.

The LED is located in the lower left hand corner of the power supply face. Table 3-2 shows the states of the LEDs.

2.Check that the power supply and both power cords are plugged in to the chassis.

The Server Powers On But Then Shuts Down with a Fault Light

Use this checklist to check for the following problems when the server powers on and then off:

1.Check that a conductive item has not been dropped or left inside the server chassis.

2.Check the connections on all boards.

3.Check the system backplane for bent pins.

The server has LEDs that indicate the health of the server. This section defines those LEDs.

Front Panel LEDs

There are seven LEDs located on the front panel.

Table 3-1	Front Panel LEDs

LED		Driven By	State	Description

Bulk Power Good		GPM	On Green	48V Good (LED works even if SP is not installed, or
				installed and not active)

			Off	48V Off

Standby Power Good		GPM	On Green	3.3V SB Good (LED works even if SP is not
				installed, or installed and is not active)

			Off	3.3V Off

SP Active		GPM	On Green	At least one SP is installed and Active

			Off	No SPs are installed or at least one is installed but
				not active

Remote		SP via GPM	On Green	Dial-in (remote) console enabled

			Off	Dial-in (remote) console is disabled, or SP not
				installed, or SP installed and not active

Attention		SP via GPM	Flash Yellow	Chassis log alert unread

			Off	No alert, or SP not installed, or SP installed and not
				active
