is turned off and is 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. A power LED is also on the rear of the server.
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 cord from the electrical outlet.
– System-locator LED: Use this blue LED to visually locate the server among
other servers. You can use IBM Director to light this LED remotely. This LED
is controlled by the BMC.
– System-error LED: When this amber LED is lit, it indicates that a system
error has occurred. A system-error LED is also on the rear of the server. An
LED on the light path diagnostics panel on the system board is also lit to help
isolate the error. This LED is controlled by the BMC.
– Release latch: Press the release latch to the left to slide out the operator
information panel and view the light path diagnostics LEDs and buttons. See
the Problem Determination and Service Guide for more information about the
light path diagnostics panel.
– System-information LED: When this amber LED is lit, it indicates that a
noncritical event has occurred. Check the error log for additional information.
See the information about light path diagnostics in the Problem Determination
and Service Guide for more information about error logs.
– Hard drive activity LED: When this green LED is lit, it indicates that one of
the hard disk drives is in use.
Notes:
1. For a SAS drive, a hard disk drive activity LED is shown in two places: on
the hard disk drive and on the operator information panel.
2. For a SATA drive, hard disk drive activity is indicated only by the hard disk
drive activity LED on the operator information panel.
