3.19.4 Light path diagnostics
Light path diagnostics is a set of LEDs located on server’s components that help to determine
failed component. If server’s component failed or has error, then appropriate LEDs light up on
the front operator panel, the light path diagnostics panel and on the failed component. By
checking the LEDs, you can locate the failed component.
If an error occurs, check the LEDs on the front operator panel first. If the check log LED is lit,
check IMM event log or system-event log. If the system-error LED is lit, find the appropriate
component with lit LED. Figure 3-33 shows the location of LEDs on the front operator panel.
Figure 3-33 Front operator panel LEDs location
For example, if a Compute Book error occurs, the Error LED located on the appropriate
Compute Book should light up. Figure 3-34 shows the LED locations on the Compute Book.
Figure 3-34 Compute Book’s LEDs location
If the Compute Book has a memory error, appropriate LEDs located on the Compute Book’s
system board can help to determine the failed DIMM. To use this feature, you have to
disconnect the server from power, remove the Compute Book from the server, press the Light
path button located on the front panel of the Compute Book, and find the lit LED on the
system board. The DIMM LED that is lighted up points to the failed memory module.
