A Server Status Indicator LEDs
These sections describe Exadata Server X10M status indicators (LEDs) located on the front and back panels, including indicators located on components and ports.
System-Level Status Indicators
System-level status indicators (LEDs) are located on both the server front panel and the back panel. For the location of the status indicators, see Front Panel Components and Back Panel Components. The following table describes these indicators.
Table A-1 System-Level Status Indicators
Power Supply Status Indicators
There are two status indicators (LEDs) on each power supply. Power supply status indicators are visible from the back of the server.

![]() |
Blue |
STEADY ON – The storage drive can be removed safely during a hot-plug operation. OFF – The storage drive is not prepared for removal. |
Network Management Port Status Indicators
The server has one 100/1000BASE-T Ethernet management domain interface, labeled NET MGT. There are two status indicators (LEDs) on this port. NET MGT indicators are visible from the back of the server.

ON – 1000BASE-T link. OFF – 100BASE-T link. |
Ethernet Port Status Indicators
The server has one Ethernet port labeled 1GbE (NET 0). Two NET 0 status indicators (LEDs) are visible from the back of the server.
See 100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet port.

OFF – 100BASE-T link (if link up). Green ON – 1000BASE-T link. |
Motherboard Status Indicators
The motherboard contains the following status indicators (LEDs).
Table A-7 Motherboard Status Indicators
Status Indicator | Description |
---|---|
DIMM Fault Status Indicators |
Each of the 24 DIMM slots on the motherboard has an amber fault status indicator (LED) associated with it. If Oracle ILOM determines that a DIMM is faulty, pressing the Fault Remind button on the motherboard I/O card signals the service processor to light the fault LED associated with the failed DIMM. See Servicing DIMMs. |
Processor Fault Status Indicators |
The motherboard includes a fault status indicator (LED) adjacent to each of the two processor sockets. These LEDs indicate when a processor fails. Pressing the Fault Remind button on the motherboard I/O card signals the service processor to light the fault status indicators associated with the failed processors. See Servicing Processors. |
Fault Remind Status Indicator |
This status indicator (LED) is located next to the Fault Remind button and is powered from the super capacitor that powers the fault LEDs on the motherboard. This LED lights to indicate that the fault remind circuitry is working properly in cases where no components failed and, as a result, none of the component fault LEDs illuminate. See Using the Server Fault Remind Button. |
STBY PWRGD Status Indicator |
This green status indicator (LED) is labeled STBY PWRGD and is located on the motherboard near the back of the server. STBY PWRGD LED lights to inform a service technician that the motherboard is receiving Standby power from at least one of the power supplies. This LED helps prevent service actions on the server internal components while the AC power cords are installed and power is being supplied to the server. |

Boot Process and Normal Operating State Indicators
A normal server boot process involves two indicators, the service processor SP OK LED indicator and the System OK LED indicator.
When AC power is connected to the server, the server boots into standby power mode:
-
The SP OK LED blinks slowly (0.5 seconds on, 0.5 seconds off) while the SP is starting, and the System OK LED remains off until the SP is ready.
-
After a few minutes, the main System OK LED slowly flashes the standby blink pattern (0.1 seconds on, 2.9 seconds off), indicating that the SP (and Oracle ILOM) is ready for use. In Standby power mode, the server is not initialized or fully powered on at this point.
When powering on the server (either by the On/Standby button or Oracle ILOM), the server boots to full power mode:
-
The System OK LED blinks slowly (0.5 seconds on, 0.5 seconds off), and the SP OK LED remains lit (no blinking).
-
When the server successfully boots, the System OK LED remains lit. When the System OK LED and the SP OK LED indicators remain lit, the server is in Main power mode.
Note:
The green System OK LED indicator and the green SP OK indicator remain lit (no blinking) when the server is in a normal operating state.
