The following table maps the platform state to the LED state.
Table 36. System Status LED Indicator States
Color State Criticality Description
Off N/A Not ready AC power off
Green /
Amber
Alternating
Blink
Not ready Pre DC power on – 15-20 second BMC initialization when AC power
is applied to the server. The control panel buttons are disabled until
the BMC initialization is complete.
Green Solid on System OK System booted and ready.
Green Blink Degraded System degraded
Unable to use all of the installed memory (more than one DIMM
installed).
Correctable errors passed the threshold of 10 and system is
migrating to a spare DIMM (memory sparing). This indicates
that the user no longer has spared DIMMs indicating a
redundancy lost condition. Corresponding DIMM LED should
light up.
In mirrored configuration, when memory mirroring takes place
and system loses memory redundancy.
Redundancy loss such as power-supply or fan. This does not
apply to non-redundant sub-systems.
PCI-e link errors
CPU failure / disabled – if there are two processors and one of
them fails
Fan alarm – Fan failure. Number of operational fans should be
more than minimum number needed to cool the system
Non-critical threshold crossed – Temperature and voltage
Amber Blink Non-critical Non-fatal alarm – system is likely to fail
Critical voltage threshold crossed
VRD hot asserted
Minimum number of fans to cool the system not present or
failed
In non-sparing and non-mirroring mode if the threshold of ten
correctable errors is crossed within the window
Amber Solid on Critical, non-
recoverable
Fatal alarm – system has failed or shutdown
DIMM failure when there is one DIMM present, no good
memory present
Run-time memory uncorrectable error in non-redundant mode
IERR signal asserted
Processor 1 missing
Temperature (CPU ThermTrip, memory TempHi, critical
threshold crossed)
No power good – power fault
Processor configuration error (for instance, processor stepping
mismatch)
Note: Memory sparing and mirroring features are currently disabled and will be made available
after production launch.
