is lit, it indicates that there is a suboptimal condition in the server and that light
path diagnostics will light an additional LED to help isolate the condition. If the
LOG LED on the light path diagnostics panel is lit, information about the
condition is available in the baseboard management controller (BMC) log or in
the system-event log. The condition might be that the BMC log is full or almost
full.
This LED and LEDs on the light path diagnostics panel remain lit until you
resolve the condition. If the only condition is that the BMC log is full or almost
full, clear the BMC log or the system-event log through the Configuration/Setup
Utility program to turn off the lit LEDs.
Important: Clear the BMC log and system-event log after you resolve all
conditions. If all conditions are resolved, this will turn off the information LED and

is turned on. When this LED is flashing, it indicates that the server is turned off
and still connected to an ac power source. When this LED is off, it indicates that
ac power is not present, or the power supply or the LED itself has failed.
Note: If this LED is off, it does not mean that there is no electrical power in the
server. The LED might be burned out. To remove all electrical power from the
server, you must disconnect the power cords from the electrical outlets.
