Note: Depending on the model, your server might look slightly different from the illustrations in this topic.

The server is designed so that LEDs remain lit when the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on, provided that the power supply is operating correctly. This helps you to isolate problems when the server is not turned on. Many errors are first indicated by a lit error LED on the diagnostic panel of some server models. If an LED is lit, one or more LEDs elsewhere in the server might also be lit to direct you to the source of the error.

The following illustration shows the TMM status LED and system fan error LEDs on the system board.

System fan error LEDs

When a system fan error LED on the system board is lit, it indicates that the corresponding system fan is operating slowly or has failed. To solve the problem, you might need to reinstall or replace the system fan. See “Replacing a system fan” on page 170. If it is a system board problem, contact the Lenovo Customer Support Center.
