Condition
The indicator flashes amber if there
is a hard drive error.
The indicator flashes amber if the
system experiences an electrical

memory error occurs.
Corrective action
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.
