State
Green—The server is running in normal operating condition.
•
Green, blinking—The server is performing system initialization and memory check.
•
Amber, steady—The server is in a degraded operational state. For example:
•
Power supply redundancy is lost.

Amber, blinking—The server is in a critical fault state. For example:
•
Boot failed.
–
Fatal CPU and/or bus error is detected.
