Table 7. Problem indicators (continued)
If your Network Station is not functioning properly and the system LED indicates anything other than
a steady green color, an error has occurred. The system LED can indicate hardware problems in the
following ways:
v A steady green indication.
v A flashing green indication.
v A steady amber indication.
v A flashing amber indication.
The system LED can also indicate a hardware problem by failing to function.
Note: The Network Station system LED quickly flashes from amber to green during a normal startup
sequence.
Perform the steps below to ensure that any LED indications are not being caused by an easily
avoidable problem.
Symptom
There is no system LED indication.
The system LED indicates amber, or
flashing amber.
If your Network Station is not functioning properly, and there is a code or text message on your screen,
an error has occured. Error codes and text messages can appear in different areas on your screen,
depending upon where the errors originate from. It is important that you record both the location and
content of any errors that you receive. Try to determine the cause and solution of the problem from the
description in the message text.
Symptom
See "Isolating hardware problems" on page 95. If there still
is no system LED indication, replace the logic unit (see
"Servicing the Network Station" on page 9).
v Reset the power to the Network Station by pressing the
white power switch.
v If the system LED indicates amber, a serious error has
occurred. See the "BIOS error messages" on page 103 for
definitions of BIOS-related LED indications.
v If the symptom remains, power off the Network Station,
perform the procedure "Removing the logic unit to install
parts" on page 18, and ensure that the jumpers are in
configuration 1 for normal operation of the Network
Station (see "Clearing the administrator password and
CMOS, creating a recovery CompactFlash card, and
reading a CompactFlash card" on page 24 for jumper
locations).
v If the symptom remains, replace the logic unit (see
"Servicing the Network Station" on page 9).
