Table 4. Status LED indicators and descriptions
Icon Description Condition Corrective action
● When the is in standby.
● If any error condition exists. For
example, a failed fan, PSU, or a
hard drive.
about error messages, see the Dell Event and
Error Messages Reference Guide at Dell.com/
openmanagemanuals > OpenManage software.
The POST process is interrupted without any video
output due to invalid memory configurations. See the
Getting help section.
Drive indicator The indicator turns solid amber if
there is a drive error.
● Check the System Event Log to determine if the
drive has an error.
● Run the appropriate Online Diagnostics test.
Restart the system and run embedded
diagnostics (ePSA).
● If the drives are configured in a RAID array,
restart the system, and enter the host adapter
configuration utility program.
Temperature
indicator
The indicator turns solid amber if
the system experiences a thermal
error (for example, the ambient
temperature is out of range or
there is a fan failure).
Ensure that none of the following conditions exist:
● A cooling fan has been removed or has failed.
● System cover, air shroud, memory module blank,
or back filler bracket is removed.
● Ambient temperature is too high.
● External airflow is obstructed.
If the problem persists, see the Getting help section.
Electrical
indicator
The indicator turns solid amber
if the system experiences an
electrical error (for example,
voltage out of range, or a failed
power supply unit (PSU) or voltage
regulator).
Check the System Event Log or system messages
for the specific issue. If it is due to a problem with
the PSU, check the LED on the PSU. Reseat the
PSU. If the problem persists, see the Getting help
section.
Memory indicator The indicator turns solid amber if a
memory error occurs.
Check the System Event Log or system messages
for the location of the failed memory. Reseat the
memory module. If the problem persists, see the
Getting help section.
PCIe indicator The indicator turns solid amber if a
PCIe card experiences an error.
Restart the system. Update any required drivers for
the PCIe card. Reinstall the card. If the problem
persists, see the Getting help section.
NOTE: For more information about the
supported PCIe cards, see the Expansion card
installation guidelines section.
