  • Amber, steady—The server is in a degraded operational state. For example:
  –
Power supply redundancy is lost.
  –
CPUs are mismatched.
  –
At least one CPU is faulty.
  –
At least one DIMM is faulty.
  –
At least one drive in a RAID configuration failed.
  • Amber, blinking—The server is in a critical fault state. For example:
  –
Boot failed.
  –
Fatal CPU and/or bus error is detected.
  –
Server is in over-temperature condition.
Fan status   • Green—All fan modules are operating properly.
  • Amber, steady—One fan module has failed.
  • Amber, blinking—Critical fault, two or more fan modules have failed.
Temperature status   • Green—The server is operating at normal temperature.
  • Amber, steady—One or more temperature sensors have exceeded a warning 
threshold.
  • Amber, blinking—One or more temperature sensors have exceeded a critical 
threshold.
Power supply status   • Green—All power supplies are operating normally.
  • Amber, steady—One or more power supplies are in a degraded operational state.
  • Amber, blinking—One or more power supplies are in a critical fault state.
Network link activity   • Off—The Ethernet link is idle.
  • Green—One or more Ethernet LOM ports are link-active, but there is no activity.
  • Green, blinking—One or more Ethernet LOM ports are link-active, with activity.
Hard drive fault   • Off—The hard drive is operating properly.
  • Amber—This hard drive has failed.
  • Amber, blinking—The device is rebuilding.
Hard drive activity    • Off—There is no hard drive in the hard drive sled (no access, no fault).
  • Green—The hard drive is ready.
