Light path diagnostics

If the system error LED in the operator information panel on the front of the server
is on, one or more LEDs inside the server might be on. Use the light path
diagnostics panel to quickly identify the type of error that occurred.
For LED locations, see "System-board LED locations" on page 53.
Your server is designed so that LEDs remain lit when the server shuts down,
provided that the power supplies are operating properly. This feature helps you to
isolate the problem even if an error causes the server to shut down.
