Trouble Indicators
This section describes indications that there may be a problem with
your system.
LED Indicators
LEDs on the chassis or on components installed in the chassis are generally
the first indicators of system trouble. The following components and modules
have status LEDs:
• Chassis LCD display
• Servers
•Fans
•CMCs
• I/O modules
• Power supplies
The single LED on the chassis LCD summarizes the status of all of the
components in the system. A solid blue LED on the LCD indicates that no
fault conditions have been detected in the system. A blinking amber LED on
the LCD indicates that one or more fault conditions have been detected.
If the chassis LCD has a blinking amber LED, you can use the LCD menu to
locate the component that has a fault. See the Dell CMC Firmware User
Guide for help using the LCD.
Table 17-1 describes the meanings of the LED on the PowerEdge Server:
