When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared to erase
all system configuration settings from both CMOS and NVRAM.
CAUTION: Clearing CMOS and/or NVRAM deletes configuration information. Be sure to properly
configure the server or data loss could occur.
System LEDs and internal health LED combinations
When the internal health LED on the front panel illuminates either flashing amber or flashing red, the
server is experiencing a health event. Combinations of illuminated system LEDs and the internal health LED
indicate system status.
NOTE: The system management driver must be installed for the internal system health LED to provide pre-
failure and warranty conditions.
The front panel health LEDs indicate only the current hardware status. In some situations, HP SIM may
report server status differently than the health LEDs because the software tracks additional system
attributes.
System LED and color Internal health LED

SAS-SATA device numbers
The server supports a combination of up to 18 SAS and SATA hard drives in the SAS-SATA hard drive
cage. SAS-SATA devices are numbered 1 through 18.
HP recommends populating hard drive bays starting with the lowest SAS ID or device number.

SATA or SAS hard drive LEDs
Item LED description Status
1 Fault/UID status Amber = Drive failure
Flashing amber = Fault-process activity
Blue = Unit identification is active
Off = No fault-process activity
2 Online/Activity status Green = Drive activity
Flashing green = High activity on the
drive or drive is being configured as part
of an array
Off = No drive activity
SAS and SATA hard drive LED combinations
Online/activity
LED (green) Fault/UID LED (amber/blue) Interpretation
On, off, or
flashing Alternating amber and blue The drive has failed, or a predictive failure alert has been received for this drive; it also has been selected by a
management application.
On, off, or
flashing Steadily blue The drive is operating normally, and it has been selected by a management application.
On Amber, flashing
regularly (1 Hz) A predictive failure alert has been received for this drive.
Replace the drive as soon as possible.
On Off The drive is online, but it is not active currently.
Flashing regularly
(1 Hz) Amber, flashing regularly (1 Hz) Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may terminate the current operation and cause data loss.
The drive is part of an array that is undergoing capacity
expansion or stripe migration, but a predictive failure alert has
been received for this drive. To minimize the risk of data loss,
do not replace the drive until the expansion or migration is
complete.

Server component identification 18
Online/activity
LED (green) Fault/UID LED (amber/blue) Interpretation
Flashing regularly
(1 Hz) Off Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may terminate the current operation and cause data loss.
The drive is rebuilding, or it is part of an array that is
undergoing capacity expansion or stripe migration.
Flashing
irregularly Amber, flashing regularly (1 Hz) The drive is active, but a predictive failure alert has been received for this drive. Replace the drive as soon as possible.
Flashing

the controller has placed it offline. Replace the drive as soon as
possible.
Off Amber, flashing

Off Off The drive is offline, a spare, or not configured as part of an
array.
Hard drive bay numbering
The server supports two simplex SCSI channels:
•Channel 1 supports up to eight drives (channels 0 to 7).
•Channel 2 supports up to two drives (channels 0 to 1).
The hard drive bay numbering for both channel configurations are illustrated. HP recommends populating
hard drive bays starting with the lowest bay number.
NOTE: All hard drive bays except 6 and 7 represent hard drive SCSI IDs. Hard drive bays 6 and 7
represent SCSI IDs 8 and 9.

Server component identification 19

On, off, or
flashing On Off The drive is online and is configured as part of an array.
If the array is configured for fault tolerance and all other drives in the
array are online, and a predictive failure alert is received or a drive
capacity upgrade is in progress, you may replace the drive online.

Server component identification 20

array; (2) it is a replacement drive and rebuild has not yet started; or
(3) it is spinning up during the POST sequence.
Flashing Flashing Flashing
Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may cause
data loss in non-fault-tolerant configurations.
One or more of the following conditions may exist:
•The drive is part of an array being selected by an array
configuration utility
•Drive Identification has been selected in HP SIM
•The drive firmware is being updated
Off Off On The drive has been placed offline due to hard disk drive failure or
subsystem communication failure.
You may need to replace the drive.
Off Off Off One or more of the following conditions may exist:
•The drive is not configured as part of an array
•The drive is configured as part of an array, but it is a
replacement drive that is not being accessed or being rebuilt yet
•The drive is configured as an online spare
If the drive is connected to an array controller, you may replace the
drive online.
Memory board LEDs and components
Error indicators remain illuminated when the system is powered off so that the status of the LEDs can still
be seen. This matches the behavior of all the other error indicators in the server.
Error indicators will only be cleared if:
•The locking switch is locked after the board is reinstalled
•The system has been rebooted
•The board is removed from the system
CAUTION: When the memory board locking switch is unlocked in a mode that does not support hot-add or
hot-replace capabilities, audio alarms and visual alerts occur. Removing the memory board at this point
causes server failure.
To end the audio alarms and visual alerts, move the memory board locking switch back to the locked position.
This action does not result in data corruption or server failure.
