Table 1-4 defines the LED states for the Cisco Connected Safety and Security UCS C220.
Ta b l e 1-4 Front Panel LEDs, Definitions of States: Cisco Connected Safety and Security UCS C220
LED Name State
Power button/Power status LED • Off—There is no AC power to the server.
• Amber—The server is in standby power mode. Power is supplied only to the CIMC
and some motherboard functions.
• Green—The server is in main power mode. Power is supplied to all server
components.
Identification • Off—The Identification LED is not in use.
• Blue—The Identification LED is activated.
System status • Green—The server is running in normal operating condition.
• Green, blinking—The server is performing system initialization and memory check.
• Amber, steady—The server is in a degraded operational state. For example:
– Power supply redundancy is lost.
– CPUs are mismatched.
– At least one CPU is faulty.
– At least one DIMM is faulty.
– At least one drive in a RAID configuration failed.
