Diagnosing LED Indicators
System Self-Diagnostic Test Failure
If the Diag LED indicates a failure of the system power-on-self-test (POST), you can
use a console connection to view the POST results. The POST results may indicate a
failed component or help troubleshoot the problem. For more information on
connecting to the console port and using the CLI, refer to the CLI Reference Guide.
Note that a POST failure normally indicates a serious hardware fault that cannot be
rectified or worked around. If you encounter a POST failure, you should contact
your dealer for assistance.
