Front panel LEDs and buttonsFront panel LEDs and buttons
ItemItem DescriptionDescription StatusStatus
1 UID LED Solid blue = Activated
Flashing blue (1 Hz/cycle per sec) = Remote management or
firmware upgrade in progress
Off = Deactivated
2 Health status LED Solid green = Normal
Flashing green (1 Hz/cycle per sec) = iLO is rebooting.
Flashing amber = System degraded
Flashing red (1 Hz/cycle per sec) = System critical
3 Mezzanine NIC status LED Solid green= Link on any Mezzanine NIC
Flashing green= Activity on any Mezzanine NIC
Off = No link or activity on any Mezzanine NIC
4 Power On/Standby button and system power
LED
Solid green = System on
Flashing green (1 Hz/cycle per sec) = Performing power on
sequence
Solid amber = System in standby
Off = No power present
NOTE:NOTE:
If all other LEDs are off, no compute module power is
present (facility power is not present, power cord is
not attached, power supplies are not installed, power
supply failure has occurred, or the power button
cable is disconnected). If the health LED is flashing
green while the system power LED is off, the PowerPower
On/StandbyOn/Standby button service is initializing or an iLO
reboot is in progress.

Smart Carrier NVMe (SCN) drive LED definitionsSmart Carrier NVMe (SCN) drive LED definitions
The NVMe drive is a PCIe bus device. A device attached to a PCIe bus cannot be removed without allowing the device and bus to
complete and cease the signal/traffic flow.
CAUTION: CAUTION: Do not remove an NVMe drive from the drive bay while the Do not remove LED is flashing. The Do not
remove LED flashes to indicate that the device is still in use. Removing the NVMe drive before the device has completed
and ceased signal/traffic flow can cause loss of data.

DIMM slot locationsDIMM slot locations
DIMM slots are numbered sequentially (1 through 12) for each processor. For more information on DIMM population rules, see the HPE
website (https://www.hpe.com/docs/memory-population-ruleshttps://www.hpe.com/docs/memory-population-rules).
The slots indicate the slot order within each channel:
White—First slot of a channel
Black—Second slot of a channel
1 First socket channel
2 Second socket channel
