LEDs on the 8335-GCA or 8335-GTA system

Use this information as a guide to the LEDs on the IBM Power System S822LC (8335-GCA and 8335-GTA)
system.
The LEDs indicate various system status. These LEDs are located at the front (as shown in Figure 63) and
at the rear of the system.
v The green LED indicates the power status.
– A constant light indicates full system power to the unit.
– A flashing light indicates standby power to the unit.
– It takes approximately 30-seconds from the time the power-on button is pressed to when the power
LED changes from flashing to solid. During the transition period, the LED might flash faster.
v The amber LED indicates a problem in the system. After a part is repaired, the amber LED takes a
minute to turn off.
v The blue LED is used to identify the system that requires service.
