Intelligent Diagnostics Module

This topic provides information about the Intelligent Diagnostics Module (hereinafter referred to as the IDM) and the diagnostic LEDs on the module. Many errors are first indicated by a lit error LED on the diagnostic panel of the server. 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. See “System board LEDs” on page 46.

The following illustration shows the location of the IDM and the diagnostic LEDs on the IDM panel in the front of the server. Depending on the model, your server might look slightly different from the illustrations in this topic.
