System LEDs and internal health LED combinations
When the internal health LED on the front panel illuminates either amber or red, the server is experiencing
a health event. Combinations of illuminated system LEDs and the internal health LED indicate system
status.
The front panel health LEDs indicate only the current hardware status. In some situations, HP SIM may
report server status differently than the health LEDs because the software tracks more system attributes.

Processor failure
(amber)
Red One or more of the following conditions may exist:

• DIMM in slot X is an unsupported type, and no valid
memory exists in another bank.
Amber
• DIMM in slot X has reached single-bit correctable
error threshold.
• DIMM in slot X is in a pre-failure condition.
• DIMM in slot X is an unsupported type, but valid
memory exists in another bank.

in one bank (amber)
Red No valid or usable memory is installed in the system.
Overtemperature
(amber)
Amber
The Health Driver has detected a cautionary temperature
level.
Red
The server has detected a hardware critical temperature
level.

more of the fan modules. One or more fans have failed or
are missing.
