System Module (SMOD) Indicators

The back panel indicators located on the SMOD allow you manage the server and determine server status. The SMOD back panel indicator includes some indicators and buttons not found on the front indicator module (FIM), including reset switches and indicators for SMOD components.

The following figure shows the back panel SMOD indicators.

Call Out Status LED or Button Icon and Color Description

1

Locate button/LED
Locate Button/LED icon

White

When activated remotely, lighting the SMOD Locate LED helps you find the server and SMOD0 System A or SMOD1 System B. Press this button to prove physical presence at the server chassis, as required for some Oracle ILOM tasks.

  • Off – Server is operating normally.

  • Fast blink – Use Oracle ILOM to activate this LED to enable you to locate a system quicklly and easily.

See Managing the Locate Button/LED.

2

Fault-Service Required
Service Action Required LED icon

Amber

Indicates a fault state in SMOD:

  • Off – SMOD is operating normally.

  • Steady On – A fault is present in SMOD.

Other amber (fault) indicators might also be lit, which can help you isolate the fault to a particular subsystem.

See Troubleshooting Using Status Indicators.

3

System OK
OK LED icon

Green

Indicates the operational state of the SMOD:

  • Off – AC power is not present or the Oracle ILOM boot is not complete.

  • Flashing – SMOD is booting.

  • Steady On – OS has booted, power is on and chassis SMOD is running.

Along with the SP indicator (below), the System OK LED provides the SMOD power status.

See Troubleshooting Using Status Indicators.

4

SP OK
SP LED icon

Green

Indicates when SMOD service processor (SP) is booting:

  • Flashing – SP is booting.

  • Steady On – Oracle ILOM is operational.

Along with the System OK indicator (above), the SP OK LED provides the status of the system power.

See Troubleshooting Using Status Indicators.

Green

Indicates the operational state of the SMOD:

  • Off – AC power is not present or the Oracle ILOM boot is not complete.

  • Flashing – SMOD is booting.

  • Steady On – OS has booted, power is on, and chassis SMOD is running.

Along with the SP indicator (above), the System OK LED provides the SMOD power status.

See Troubleshooting Using Status Indicators.

8

HBA Fault-Service Required
Service Action Required LED icon

Amber

Indicates a fault state in the SMOD internal HBA:
