Server component identification 71
Item Description Status
5 DIMM LEDs (1–4) Off = Normal or DIMM not installed
Amber = Uncorrectable error detected or
correctable error threshold reached
Flashing amber = DIMM configuration error
6 Spare
Off = Board not online or board not
configured for Online Spare Memory mode
Amber = Correctable error threshold
reached; server is in degraded Online
Spare Memory mode
Flashing amber = Memory configuration
error*
Green = Online Spare Memory mode
7 Mirrored
Off = Board not online or board not
configured for Hot-Plug Mirrored Memory
mode
Amber = Server is in degraded Hot-Plug
Mirrored Memory mode
Flashing amber = Memory configuration
error*
Green = Hot-Plug Mirrored Memory mode
8 RAID
Off = Board not online or board not
configured for Hot-Plug RAID Memory mode
Amber = Server is in degraded Hot-Plug
RAID Memory mode
Flashing amber = Memory configuration
error*
Green = Hot-Plug RAID Memory mode
9 Board Off = Power off or locking switch unlocked
Amber = Memory error detected
Flashing amber = Memory configuration
error*
Flashing green = Board is rebuilding
Green = Normal
* AMP configuration errors occur when the current memory configuration is not valid for the configured
AMP mode:
• If the mode selected is the desired mode, modify the DIMM or board configuration to support the
desired mode. For more information, refer to "Memory options ("Memory overview" on page 50)."
• If the mode selected is not the desired mode, run RBSU and change the AMP mode. For more
information, refer to the section "HP ROM-Based Setup Utility (on page 61)."
NOTE: If the Spare, Mirrored, and RAID LEDs are off, the server is in Advanced ECC mode. Refer to "HP
ROM-Based Setup Utility (on page 61)" for more information.
