Amber LED on the LCB and FC I/O Blade
Under normal operating conditions, the amber LED on the blade is not lit. If you see that the amber LED on an LCB or FC I/O
blade is either blinking continuously or solidly lit for at least 10 minutes, service the blade as soon as possible. The library
may or may not generate RAS tickets, depending on the source of the problem.
Caution:
Never remove an LCB when its amber LED is solidly lit, unless it has been solidly lit for at least 10 minutes.
Table 2 indicates the actions you can take, based on the condition of the amber LED.

Capture a snapshot of the library, and send it to Dell Technical Support for analysis.
Fibre Port Link LED on FC I/O Blades
A fibre port link LED on a FC I/O blade shows the current state of an FC link and indicates whether or not the link is ready to
transmit commands.
The link LED for an FC I/O blade fibre port is located either below or above the port. For each link LED pair on the FC I/O
blade, the LED on the left belongs to the fibre port below. The LED on the right belongs to the fibre port above. Black lines on
the FC I/O blade faceplate may indicate which LED belongs to which port.
Use Table 4 to interpret Fibre Channel link activity on an FC I/O blade.
