The internal components in the system are cooled by air that is pulled in through the front of the server and exhausted out the back of the server. Cooling occurs in two areas of the chassis, the power supply area and the motherboard area. Oracle Server X5-4 Overview...
Page 26 If one of the fan modules fails, the other fan module in the pair has sufficient power to cool the zone until the failed fan can be replaced. However, if both fan modules in a pair fail, Oracle ILOM will power off the system to prevent thermal damage.

Page 46 For the steady on state, an indicator is continually on (lit) and does not blink. This indicates a continuing condition, for example, an operational state (green) or a Service Action Required fault state (amber). Oracle Server X5-4 Service Manual • December 2015...
Page 47 Troubleshooting Hardware Faults Using Oracle ILOM Steady Off For the steady off state, an indicator is continually off (not lit) and does not blink. This indicates that a system is not operational, for example, no AC power (unlit green System OK indicator) or a subsystem not in a fault state (unlit amber Service Action Required indicator).
Page 48 This indicates a component or system in standby mode. For example, the single blink rate occurs when a server is in standby power mode or a when hot spare device is waiting to be used (also used with amber indicators to indicate a predicted fault). Oracle Server X5-4 Service Manual • December 2015...
Page 49 Troubleshooting Hardware Faults Using Oracle ILOM Slow Unison Blink Rate For the slow unison blink rate, the indicators on the component blink in unison for half a second during a one second interval (1 Hz). Typically, this is limited to three successive blinks. This confirms the successful insertion of a removable device (for example, a storage drive or blade) into a powered system (confirming the power connection).
Page 50 (for example, a power supply with a lower rating than the one specified). Also used for an unsupported component, a component in an unsupported slot, or a blade (server module) that causes a power supply to be oversubscribed for that system.

Page 52: Troubleshooting System Cooling Issues
Prevention: Periodically check the ambient temperature of the server space to ensure that it is within the required range, especially if you have made any changes to the server space (for example, added additional servers). The temperature must be consistent and stable. Oracle Server X5-4 Service Manual • December 2015...
Page 53 Troubleshooting Hardware Faults Using Oracle ILOM Airflow Blockage The server cooling system uses fans to pull cool air in from the server front intake vents and exhaust warm air out the server back panel vents. If the front or back vents are blocked, the airflow through the server is disrupted and the cooling system fails to function properly causing the server internal temperature to rise.
Page 54: Troubleshooting Power Issues
Action: Check that both AC power cords are connected to the server and check that the correct power is present at the outlets. If necessary, monitor the power to verify that it is within the Oracle Server X5-4 Service Manual • December 2015...
