Diagnostic indicators on the front panel
NOTE: The diagnostic indicators are not present if the system is equipped with an LCD display.
NOTE: No diagnostic indicators are lit when the system is turned o. To start the system, plug it into a working power
source and press the power button.
Table 4. Diagnostic indicators
Icon Description Condition Corrective action
Health indicator The indicator turns solid blue if the
system is in good health.
None required.
The indicator ashes amber:
• When the system is turned on.
• When the system is in standby.
• If any error condition exists. For
example, a failed fan, PSU, or a
hard drive.
Check the System Event Log or system messages for
the specic issue. For more information about error
messages, see the Dell Event and Error Messages
Reference Guide at Dell.com/openmanagemanuals >
OpenManage software.
The POST process is interrupted without any video
output due to invalid memory congurations. See the
Getting help section.
Hard drive
indicator
The indicator ashes amber if there
is a hard drive error.
Check the System Event Log to determine the hard
drive that has an error. Run the appropriate Online
Diagnostics test. Restart the system and run
embedded diagnostics (ePSA). If the hard drives are
congured in a RAID array, restart the system and
enter the host adapter conguration utility program.
Electrical
indicator
The indicator ashes amber if the
system experiences an electrical
error (for example, voltage out of
range, or a failed power supply unit
(PSU) or voltage regulator).
Check the System Event Log or system messages for
the specic issue. If it is due to a problem with the
PSU, check the LED on the PSU. Reseat the PSU. If
the problem persists, see the Getting help section.
Temperature
indicator
The indicator ashes amber if the
system experiences a thermal error
(for example, the ambient
temperature is out of range or fan
failure).
Ensure that none of the following conditions exist:
• A cooling fan has been removed or has failed.
• System cover, cooling shroud, EMI ller panel,
memory module blank, or back ller bracket is
removed.
• Ambient temperature is too high.
• External airow is obstructed.
See the Getting help section.
Memory indicator The indicator ashes amber if a
memory error occurs.
Check the system event log or system messages for
the location of the failed memory. Reseat the memory
module. If the problem persists, see the Getting help
section.

Hard drive indicator codes
Each hard drive carrier has an activity indicator and a status indicator. The indicators provide information about the current status of
the hard drive. The activity LED indicates whether hard drive is currently in use or not. The status LED indicates the power condition
of the hard drive.
Figure 6. Hard drive indicators

NOTE: If the hard drive is in the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) mode, the status indicator (on the right side)
does not turn on.

NIC indicator codes
Each NIC on the back panel has an indicator that provides information about the network activity and link status. The activity LED
indicates whether the NIC is currently connected or not. The link LED indicates the speed of the connected network.

Convention Status Condition
A Link and activity indicators are o The NIC is not connected to the network.
B Link indicator is green The NIC is connected to a valid network at its
maximum port speed (1 Gbps or 10 Gbps).
C Link indicator is amber The NIC is connected to a valid network at less
than its maximum port speed.
D Activity indicator is ashing green Network data is being sent or received.
Power supply unit indicator codes
AC power supply units (PSUs) have an illuminated translucent handle that serves as an indicator. The indicator shows whether
power is present or a power fault has occurred.

Condition
A Green A valid power source is connected to the PSU and the PSU is operational.
B Flashing green When the rmware of the PSU is being updated, the PSU handle ashes green.
C Flashing green and

When hot-adding a PSU, the PSU handle ashes green ve times at 4 Hz rate and
turns o. This indicates a PSU mismatch with respect to eciency, feature set, health
status, and supported voltage.
NOTE: Ensure that both the PSUs are of the same capacity.
CAUTION: For AC PSUs, use only PSUs with the Extended Power
Performance (EPP) label on the back.
NOTE: Mixing PSUs from previous generations of Dell PowerEdge servers can
result in a PSU mismatch condition or failure to turn the system on.
D Flashing amber Indicates a problem with the PSU.
CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the PSU with the
ashing indicator. Swapping the PSU to make a matched pair can result in an
error condition and unexpected system shutdown. To change from a high
output conguration to a low output conguration or vice versa, you must
turn o the system.
CAUTION: AC PSUs support both 220 V and 110 V input voltages with the
exception of Titanium PSUs, which support only 220 V. When two identical
PSUs receive dierent input voltages, they can output dierent wattages,
and trigger a mismatch.
CAUTION: If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same type and have the
same maximum output power.
