UID button functionality
The UID button can be used to display the Pre-boot Health Summary when the server will not power on. For
more information, see the latest HPE iLO User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
Power fault LEDs
The following table provides a list of power fault LEDs, and the subsystems that are affected. Not all power
faults are used by all servers.
Subsystem LED behavior
System board 1 flash
Processor 2 flashes
Memory 3 flashes
Riser board PCIe slots 4 flashes
FlexibleLOM 5 flashes
Removable HPE Flexible Smart Array
controller/Smart SAS HBA controller
6 flashes
System board PCIe slots 7 flashes
Power backplane or storage backplane 8 flashes
Power supply 9 flashes
Systems Insight Display LEDs
The Systems Insight Display LEDs represent the system board layout. The display enables diagnosis with the
access panel installed.

Processor LEDs Off = Normal
Amber = Failed processor
DIMM LEDs Off = Normal
Amber = Failed DIMM or configuration issue
Fan LEDs Off = Normal
Amber = Failed fan or missing fan
NIC LEDs Off = No link to network
Solid green = Network link
Flashing green = Network link with activity
If power is off, the front panel LED is not active. For
status, see Rear panel LEDs on page 18.
Power supply LEDs Off = Normal
Solid amber = Power subsystem degraded, power
supply failure, or input power lost.
PCI riser LED Off = Normal
Amber = Incorrectly installed PCI riser cage
Over temp LED Off = Normal
Amber = High system temperature detected
Amp Status LED Off = AMP modes disabled
Solid green = AMP mode enabled
Solid amber = Failover
Flashing amber = Invalid configuration
Power cap LED Off = System is in standby, or no cap is set.
Solid green = Power cap applied
When the health LED on the front panel illuminates either amber or red, the server is experiencing a health
event. For more information on the combination of these LEDs, see Systems Insight Display combined
LED descriptions on page 15).

installed and only one power
supply is functional.
• AC power cord is not plugged into
redundant power supply.
• Redundant power supply fault
• Power supply mismatch at POST
or power supply mismatch through
