Light  path  diagnostics  LEDs 
The  following  table  describes  the  LEDs  on  the  light  path  diagnostics  panel  and 
suggested  actions  to  correct  the  detected  problems. 
 
v  Follow  the  suggested  actions  in  the  order  in  which  they  are  listed  in  the  Action  column  until  the  problem 
is  solved. 
v  See  the  Problem  Determination  and  Service  Guide  on  the  IBM  System  x  Documentation  CD  to  determine  which 
components  are  customer  replaceable  units  (CRU)  and  which  components  are  field  replaceable  units 
(FRU). 
v  If  an  action  step  is  preceded  by  “(Trained  service  technician  only),”  that  step  must  be  performed  only  by  a 
trained  service  technician. 
Lit  light  path 
diagnostics  LED  with 
the  system-error  or 
information  LED  also 
lit  Description  Action 
All  LEDs  are  off  (the 
power  LED  is  lit;  the 
information  LED  might 
be  lit). 
No  action  is  necessary. 
POWER  SUPPLY  1  Power  supply  1  has  failed  or  has 
been  removed. 
Note:  In  a  redundant  power 
configuration,  the  dc  power  LED  on 
one  power  supply  might  be  off. 
1.  Reinstall  the  power  supply  1. 
2.  Check  the  individual  power-supply  LEDs. 
3.  Reseat  the  following  components: 
a.  Power  supply 
b.  (Trained  service  technician  only)  Power 
backplane
4.
  Replace  the  components  listed  in  step  3,  one  at  a 
time,  in  the  order  shown,  restarting  the  server  each 
time. 
5.  If  a  240  V  ac  fault  has  occurred,  remove  ac  power 
before  restoring  dc  power. 
POWER  SUPPLY  2  Power  supply  2  has  failed  or  has 
been  removed. 
Note:  In  a  redundant  power 
configuration,  the  dc  power  LED  on 
one  power  supply  might  be  off. 
1.  Reinstall  the  power  supply  2. 
2.  Check  the  individual  power-supply  LEDs. 
3.  Reseat  the  following  components: 
a.  Power  supply 
b.  (Trained  service  technician  only)  Power 
backplane
4.
  Replace  the  components  listed  in  step  3,  one  at  a 
time,  in  the  order  shown,  restarting  the  server  each 
time. 
5.  If  a  240  V  ac  fault  has  occurred,  remove  ac  power 
before  restoring  dc  power. 
CONFIG  Microprocessor  configuration  error. 
1.  Mismatched  microprocessors,  remove  and  install 
two  microprocessor  of  the  same  cache  size,  type, 
and  clock  speed. 
2.  Check  the  system  error  log  for  information 
indicating  incompatible  components.
