Chapter 6: System Diagnostics And Indicator Codes; Status Led Indicators - Dell VxRail E660 Installation And Service Manual

System diagnostics and indicator codes
This section describes the chassis LEDs and diagnostic indicators on the front panel of VxRail E660 series. These diagnostic
indicators display the system status during system startup.

Status LED indicators

The status LED indicators are located on the chassis and they indicate the condition of the system. If any error occurs, the
indicators turn solid amber in color.

is a drive error.
The indicator turns solid amber if the
system experiences a thermal error (for
example, the ambient temperature is out
of range or there is a fan failure).
The indicator turns solid amber if the
system experiences an electrical error
(for example, voltage out of range, or
a failed power supply unit (PSU) or
voltage regulator).
The indicator turns solid amber if a
memory error occurs.
The indicator turns solid amber if a PCIe
card experiences an error.
Corrective action
● Check the System Event Log to determine if the
drive has an error.
● Run the appropriate Online Diagnostics test.
Restart the system and run embedded diagnostics
(ePSA).
● If the drives are configured in a RAID array,
restart the system, and enter the host adapter
configuration utility program.
Ensure that none of the following conditions exist:
● A cooling fan has been removed or has failed.
● System cover, air shrouds, or back filler bracket
has been removed.
● Ambient temperature is too high.
● External airflow is obstructed.
If the problem persists, see
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
Check the System Event Log or system messages for
the location of the failed memory. Reseat the memory
module.
If the problem persists, see
Restart the system. Update any required drivers for
the PCIe card. Reinstall the card.
