Note: The blue LED which is located at the front and rear of an HP MCS 78XX server is called
the Unit Identification light (UID). The UID is a feature of all DL servers that allows the user to
distinguish which server they are working on in the rack. The UID can be lit from the CIM
console, as well as at the server by pressing either the front or rear UID button. Once lit, the LED
is blue in order to help the user identify the unit.
The Recommended Action column lists the steps necessary to correct the problem. After completion of
each step, run the Diagnostics program to verify whether the error condition is corrected. If the error
code reappears, perform the next step, then run the Diagnostics program again. Follow this procedure
until Diagnostics no longer detects an error condition.
