Using the baseboard management controller

The mini-baseboard management controller provides basic environmental monitoring for the server. If environmental conditions exceed thresholds or if system components fail, the baseboard management controller lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem and also records the error in the BMC system-event log.

Important: If the system-error LED on the front of the server is lit but there are no other error indications or you have corrected all errors, restart the server. If the LED continues to remain lit after you restart the server, power off the server; then, turn on the server again.
