Front panel and system board LEDs

The server does not contain a diagnostic or information panel. The system error LED is on the front panel inside the server. All of the remaining error LEDs are on the system board, adjacent to the failing components. See “Diagnostic LEDs” for information on identifying problems using these LEDs.

The meanings of these LEDs are as follows:

CPU1

Microprocessor number 1 (connector U12) fault

CPU2

Microprocessor number 2 (connector U11) fault

Fan 1

Fan number 1 (connector J10) failure (see note 1)

Fan 2

Fan number 2 (connector J18) failure (see note 1)

MEM1

DIMM number 1 (connector J19) fault

MEM 2

DIMM number 2 (connector J21) fault

MEM 3

DIMM number 3 (connector J23) fault

MEM 4

DIMM number 4 (connector J26) fault

VRM1

Microprocessor VRM number 1 (connector J42) fault (see note 1)

VRM2

Microprocessor VRM number 2 (connector J12) fault (see note 1)

Notes:

 

1.The fan and VRM LEDs will illuminate only if the optional system management adapter is installed in the server.

2.The server does not support user-replaceable power supplies or fans.

Diagnostic LEDs

You can use the diagnostic LEDs built into the server to quickly identify the type of system error that occurred. The server is designed so that LEDs remain illuminated when the server shuts down, as long as the power supply is operating properly. This feature helps you to isolate the problem if an error causes the server to shut down. To correct specific problems, see “Symptom-to-FRU index” on page 111.
