When all four LEDs described in this table flash simultaneously, a power fault has occurred. For more information, see
Front panel LED power fault codes
.
Facility power is not present, power cord is not attached, no power supplies are installed, power supply failure has occurred, or the
front I/O cable is disconnected.
If the health LED indicates a degraded or critical state, review the system Integrated Management Log (IML) or use
HPE
