Condition
The indicator turns solid
blue if the system is in good
health.
The indicator flashes amber:
• When the system is
turned on.
• When the system is in
standby.
• If any error condition
exists. For example, a
failed fan, PSU, or a hard
drive.
The indicator flashes amber
if there is a hard drive error.
The indicator flashes amber
if the system experiences an
electrical error (for example,
voltage out of range, or a
failed power supply unit
(PSU) or voltage regulator).
The indicator flashes amber
if the system experiences a
thermal error (for example,
the ambient temperature is
out of range or fan failure).
The indicator flashes amber
if a memory error occurs.
Corrective action
None required.
Check the System Event Log or system
messages for the specific issue. For more
information about error messages, see the
Dell Event and Error Messages Reference
Guide at Dell.com/openmanagemanuals >
OpenManage software.
The POST process is interrupted without
any video output due to invalid memory
configurations. See the Getting help
section.
Check the System Event Log to determine
the hard drive that has an error. Run the
appropriate Online Diagnostics test. Restart
the system and run embedded diagnostics
(ePSA). If the hard drives are configured in a
RAID array, restart the system and enter the
host adapter configuration utility program.
Check the System Event Log or system
messages for the specific issue. If it is due
to a problem with the PSU, check the LED
on the PSU. Reseat the PSU. If the problem
persists, see the Getting help section.
Ensure that none of the following
conditions exist:
• A cooling fan has been removed or has
failed.
• System cover, cooling shroud, EMI filler
panel, memory module blank, or back
filler bracket is removed.
• Ambient temperature is too high.
• External airflow is obstructed.
See the Getting help section.
Check the system event log or system
messages for the location of the failed
memory. Reseat the memory module. If
the problem persists, see the Getting help
section.
