Sled LED Behavior
The Sleds are inserted in the front of the chassis and contain an LED for Power/Status/Identification via Blue
or Amber colors.
Figure 3: Current PowerEdge MX Sled Options
MX740c MX840c MX5016s
The Power/Status/Identification LED is on the top left
highlighted in red.
The Power/Status/Identification (color is dependent on
status) LED states for a sled device will be as follows:
Chassis manager firmware console
For PowerEdge MX5016s (Figure 3), a cylindrical LED is
also available marked with green highlight in the figure.
Its behavior is as follows:
NOTE: It is unsafe to remove the PowerEdge
MX5016s any time the LED is Blinking, as it is has
active mappings to compute sleds that are powered
on. To remove the PowerEdge MX5016s, either
unmap storage from all compute sleds, or power
down all compute sleds that are using this storage.
See the User Guide for more information.
PSU LED Behavior
The PSU LED States are as follows:
Figure 4 – Front PSU LED Figure 5 –
Rear PSU LED
The Power Supply Units (PSUs) are inserted in the front of the chassis and utilize four LEDs: 3 on the front
