About LED behavior
The VIPRION
®
platform has LED displays in two locations: on the LCD
panel and on the individual blades. On the LCD panel, the LEDs provide
information about platform power, blade alarms, and status.
On the blades, the LEDs indicate whether the blade is a primary or
secondary blade, and show alarm and blade status. The alarm LED status for
blades is also displayed in the corresponding LED on the LCD panel.
Indicator LED functions
There are several types of indicator LEDs on the faceplate of each unit. Each
indicator LED serves a specific function.
Function Description
Power Reports that a power supply is present and operational
(green), present but non-functioning (yellow), or does
not have a power supply connected (off).
The chassis front panel has one LED per power supply.
There are eight power supply LEDs; however, only the
first four are functional in the four-slot chassis.
Status Reports the overall state of the chassis: functional
(green) or experiencing errors (yellow).
Alarm Reports both blade and chassis alarms. If a blade
indicates an alarm condition, the chassis Alarm LED
mirrors that state. In situations where more than one
blade is generating an alarm, the chassis Alarm LED
displays the most severe alarm status.

Secondary Indicates that the blade is a secondary blade for a
cluster.
