Lcd Status Messages - Dell PowerEdge 1900 Systems Owner's Manual

LCD Status Messages

The system's control panel LCD provides status messages to signify when the system is operating
correctly or when the system needs attention. The LCD lights blue to indicate a normal operating
condition and lights amber to indicate an error condition. The LCD scrolls a message that includes a
status code followed by descriptive text. Each diagnostic LCD message is assigned a priority. The highest
priority messages will supersede any group of messages with a lower priority.
Table 1-4 lists the LCD status messages that can occur and the probable cause for each message. The
LCD messages refer to events recorded in the system event log (SEL). For information on the SEL and
configuring system management settings, see the systems management software documentation.
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform
troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or
telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your
warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
NOTE:
If your system fails to boot, press the System ID button for at least five seconds until an error code appears
on the LCD. Record the code, then see "Getting Help" on page 137.
