Status Indicator LEDs

This appendix contains information about the locations and behaviors of the status and fault LEDs on the server. The information is organized to describe external LEDs that can be viewed on the outside of the server, and internal LEDs that can be viewed only with the main cover removed.

This appendix contains the following sections:


C.1 Front Panel LEDs

EXAMPLE C-1 Close Up of Controls and Indicators


TABLE C-2 lists and describes the controls and indicators LEDs.

Description

 

1

Locate button/LED

White

Press to toggle on/off locally. Remains on (as fast blinking 4Hz) for 30 minutes or until turned off.

Operators can turn this LED on remotely to help them locate the server in a crowded server room:

  • In the ILOM GUI, navigate to System Monitoring > Indicators and select the radio button next to /SYS/LOCATE. From the Actions drop-down menu, select “Set LED to Fast Blink” or “Turn LED Off.”
  • In the CLI, enter:
    set /SYS/LOCATE value=[fast_blink|off]
  • Press to turn on or off.

Press the Locate LED/Switch for five seconds to turn all indicators on for 15 seconds.


2

System Fault LED

Amber

Off--Normal operation

On--Service action is required.

A system running under these conditions are in a fault condition, but the SP does not log the reason the service LED is illuminated:

  • 220VAC with only 1 PSU
  • 110VAC with only two PSUs

3

Power/OK LED

 

Green

Steady on--Power is on and system is operational.

Blinking--Standby power is on but main power is off. Blinks briefly once every 3 seconds.

Off--Power is off.


4

System power button

 


If on, press briefly for a controlled shut down. Press and hold for 4 seconds for immediate shutdown.

Caution - Caution there may be data loss for immediate shutdown.

See Section 2.1, Powering On the Server for details.

 

5

Top fault LED

Amber

On--Drive or fan fault: open top cover to service.


6

Rear fault LED

Amber

On--Power supply or system controller fault (service is required at rear of system).


7

System Over Temperature

Amber

On--Server is in over-temperature condition.

1

Power Supply LED

Amber

Steady on--Fault. Service action required.

2

OK

Green

Steady on--Power is on (AC/DC are OK).

Blinking --Blinks briefly once every 3 seconds. Standby power is on (AC is OK).

Off -- Power is off.

3

Locate button/LED

White

Toggles on/off locally--Operators can turn on this on remotely to help them locate the enclosure in a crowded server room. Press to turn off.

4

System Fault LED

Amber

Off--Normal operation

On--Service action is required.

A system running under these conditions are in a fault condition, but the SP does not log the reason the service LED is illuminated:

  • 220VAC with only 1 PSU
  • 110VAC with only two PSUs

5

System Power LED

Green

Steady on-- Power is on and system is operational.

Blinking--Standby power is on but main power is off. Blinks briefly once every 3 seconds.

Off -- Power is off.

6

Ready to Remove

Blue

Ready to remove (service action allowed)

7

Fault

Amber

Fault (Service action required)

8

OK

Green

OK (no action required)



C.2 Disk Drive and Fan Tray LEDs

FIGURE C-3 shows the location of the internal LEDs. FIGURE C-5 shows a close-up view of the disk drive and fan trays, including the symbols that identify the LEDs.



Note - On fan trays, the green and amber (OK and Fault) LEDs might be on simultaneously. This indicates that while a fan has failed, at least one of its fans is still operational.




Note - Early fan trays had a blue LED that was not activated. Later versions of the fan trays have only a green and amber LED.

C.2.1 CPU Board LEDs

The CPU board has three types of LEDs. They are listed in TABLE C-3 and appear in FIGURE C-6.

The CPU LEDs are active only when the Remind button is depressed. They blink to indicate a failure; otherwise they stay Off.



Note - The CPU and DIMM LEDs continue to indicate a failure until the system is powered on. The Battery LED continues to indicate a failure until the service processor is started.
