Memory board LEDs and components
Error indicators remain illuminated when the system is powered off so that the status of the LEDs can still
be seen. This matches the behavior of all the other error indicators in the server.
CAUTION: When the memory board locking switch is unlocked in a mode that does not
support hot-add or hot-replace capabilities, audio alarms and visual alerts occur. Removing the
memory board at this point causes server failure.
• To end the audio alarms and visual alerts, move the memory board locking switch back to
the locked position. This action does not result in data corruption or server failure.
• If removal of a single memory board is required and it is the only memory board, power
down the server and make the necessary memory changes.
Error indicators will only be cleared if:
• The locking switch is locked after the board is reinstalled
• The system has been rebooted
