To make sure that the most recent firmware is installed on a node, update the node firmware.
Follow instructions in the most current Node Firmware Release Notes to update your node to the most recent Node Firmware
Package.

or the OneFS CLI Administration Guide.
Front panel LCD display
The LCD display provides system information, status, and error messages to indicate that the system is functioning correctly or
requires attention. The LCD display is also used to configure or view the system iDRAC IP address.
The following lists the status and conditions of the LCD display:
● The LCD backlight is white during normal operating conditions.
● When the system needs attention, the LCD backlight is amber, and displays an error code before the descriptive text.
● When the system turns off and there are no errors, the LCD enters the standby mode after five minutes of inactivity. Press
any button on the LCD to turn it on.
● If the LCD panel stops responding, remove the bezel and reinstall it. If the problem persists, see Getting help.
● The LCD backlight remains off if LCD messaging is turned off through the iDRAC utility, the LCD panel, or other tools.
NOTE:
If the system is connected to a power source and an error is detected, the LCD is amber whether the system is
turned on or off.
