Viewing the light path diagnostics LEDs in the BladeCenter
GPU expansion unit
When an error is indicated by the fault LED on the front of the BladeCenter GPU
expansion (BGE) unit, these LEDs inside the expansion unit can be lit to help
identify the source of the error. The fault LED on the blade server on which the
expansion unit is installed is also lit. If the blade server supports transfer of error
and LED information, fault-related information will be shown by the BladeCenter
advanced management module (see the BladeCenter Advanced Management Module
User's Guide for additional information).
Before you work inside the expansion unit to view light path diagnostics LEDs,
read "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 49.
To view the light path diagnostics LEDs in the expansion unit:
1. Remove the combined blade server and expansion units from the BladeCenter
2. Place the expansion unit on a flat, static-protective surface.
3. Remove the expansion unit cover and other expansion blades, if applicable, to

expose the expansion unit that has the lit fault LED. See "Removing the blade
server cover" on page 55.
The light path diagnostics (LP) LED will be lit (green) to indicate that there is
enough power present to light the error LEDs, and LEDs indicating additional
failure information also will be lit.
