Motherboard Status Indicators

The motherboard contains the following status indicators (LEDs).

Status Indicator Description

DIMM Fault Status Indicators

  • Each 32 DIMM slot 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 the 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.

  • This 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.
