there is a hard drive error.
Check the System Event Log to determine the hard
drive that has an error. Run the appropriate Online
Diagnostics test. Restart the system and run
embedded diagnostics (ePSA). If the hard drives are
configured in a RAID array, restart the system and
enter the host adapter configuration utility program.

The indicator flashes amber if the
system experiences an electrical
error (for example, voltage out of

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 the Getting help
section.
