Light path diagnostics
Light path diagnostics provides a path that you can follow to help you identify the
source of an error. The server must be connected to a power source for the LEDs
inside the server to be lit; the server does not have to be turned on for the LEDs to
be lit.
Press the reset button to reset the server and run the power-on self-test (POST).
You might have to use a pen or the end of a straightened paper clip to press the
button.
The server is designed so that LEDs remain lit when the server is connected to an
ac power source but is not turned on, provided that the power supply is operating
correctly. This feature helps you to isolate the problem when the operating system
is shut down.
Any PCI-X, memory, microprocessor, and VRM LED can be lit again without ac
power after you remove the microprocessor tray so that you can isolate a problem.
After ac power has been removed from the server, power remains available to
these LEDs for up to 24 hours.
To view the PCI-X, memory, microprocessor, and VRM LEDs, press and hold the
light-path-diagnostics button on the PCI-X board, memory card, or microprocessor
board for 30 seconds to light the error LEDs.
The LEDs that were lit while the server was running will be lit again while the button
is pressed.
