Switch the Monitor off then on again to observe the System Board LEDs. These can be
viewed through the top left corner of the rear panel. (You need to remove the Server to view
these LEDs).
The meaning of the System Board LEDs is given in the following table together with a brief
summary of possible defect conditions.
An ECG OUT LED is also located on the System Board and can be viewed after removing
the Power Supply cover. The meaning of the ECG OUT LED is as follows:
• When permanently on (>20 seconds), this LED indicates an error in the ECG_OUT section.
• If a single fatal error in the ECG_OUT section is detected during power-on, the ECG OUT
LED switches on for up to 20 seconds.
The ECG OUT LED switches off if this fatal error cannot be detected again after 20 sec-
onds.
