About Sun Blade 8000 Front and Rear Indicator Modules

The Sun Blade 8000 Modular System provides identical indicator and button functionality on the front and rear of the chassis. The Front Indicator Module (FIM) is located at the upper left corner of the front panel, just above and to the left of the six power supply modules. The Rear Indicator Module (RIM) is located at the rear of the chassis, among the chassis power inlets, between AC2 and AC3 inlets. The FIM and RIM indicator LEDs provide a summary status of the chassis operating state.

Description

Locator indicator

White

This LED provides these indications:

  • Fast Blink – Helps you locate a specific system in a data center.

  • Off – Normal operating state.

You can illuminate the Locator indicator either by executing a software command on the Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM), or by momentarily pressing the associated Locator button.

Locator button

This button provides these functions:

  • Quick press – Lights the Locator indicator.

  • Four second or more press – CMM enacts a chassis-wide Lamp Test, which causes the indicators on all replaceable components (FRUs and CRUs), front and rear, to light as long as the Locator button is pressed. Once the Locator button is released, all FRU and CRU indicators return to their previous state.

Service Action Required indicator

Amber

This LED provides these indications:

  • Steady On – Indicates that a FRU or CRU within the chassis requires service, or that an external condition needs fixing (such as external ambient temperature or degradation of power). This LED provides a summary of all other Service Action Required FRU and CRU indicators in the chassis. It remains Steady On as long as any Service Action Required indicator on any FRU or CRU in the chassis is lit.

  • Off – Normal operating state.

3

OK indicator

Green

This LED provides these indications:

  • Standby Blink – Indicates that the CMM has begun initialization. When the CMM has completed its initialization and has begun to actively manage the chassis, the OK indicator transitions to the Standby Blink state. At this state, only the FIM and RIM indicators and CMM indicators are active.

  • Steady On – When the chassis has been turned on fully by either pressing the Power button or executing a CMM command, the OK indicator goes to the Steady On state.

  • Off – Remains off before the chassis has powered on and before the chassis has reached the Standby Blink state.

4

Power button

Powers on the chassis that is in the Standby state, as indicated by the OK indicator being in the Standby Blink state. The chassis cannot be turned off by pressing the Power button. Only an authorized Administrator, logged in to the active CMM, can turn off the chassis by issuing a CMM software command.
