Table D-1:  Diagnosis Steps 
Question  The Next Step 
Question 1: Is the front panel 
Power-On/Standby LED on 
(illuminated solid green or flashing)? 
If no, go to Table D-2, and then 
continue to Question 2 if the 
problem is not solved. 
If yes, continue to Question 4. 
Question 2: Is the front panel 
Internal Health LED red? 
If no, go to Table D-2, and then 
continue to Question 3 if the 
problem is not solved. 
If yes, continue to Question 4. 
Question 3: Are any system board 
LEDs showing a failure or error 
condition?  
Refer to Appendix E, “LEDs, 
Switches, and Jumpers,” for the 
location and status information of all 
system board LEDs. 
 
If no, go to Question 4. 
If yes, then: 
1.  Reseat the applicable 
component and then restart the 
server. 
2.  If reseating does not fix the 
problem, replace the 
component with a known 
working component and then 
restart the server. 
3.  Contact an authorized service 
technician if steps 1 and 2 do 
not fix the problem.
