Serial number/iLO information pull tabSerial number/iLO information pull tab
The serial number/iLO information pull tab is double-sided. One side shows the server serial number and the customer asset tag label.
The other side shows the default iLO account information and QR code label.
Use a mobile device to scan the QR code label to display the server mobile product page ( https://www.hpe.com/qref/dl20gen10https://www.hpe.com/qref/dl20gen10). This
page contains links to server setup information, spare part numbers, QuickSpecs, troubleshooting resources, and other useful product
links.

When the LEDs described in this table flash simultaneously, a power fault has occurred. For more information, see
Front panel LED power fault codes
.
If the health LED indicates a degraded or critical state, review the system IML or use iLO to review the system health status.
Facility power is not present, power cord is not attached, no power supplies are installed, or power supply failure has occurred.

Front panel LEDs and buttons 12

Server UID LEDServer UID LED
The UID LED is used to locate a particular server when it is deployed in a dense rack with other equipment. Activating the UID LED
helps an on-site technician to quickly identify a server for maintenance tasks.
Server UID LED 13

UID button functionalityUID button functionality
The UID button can be used to display the Server Health Summary when the server will not power on. For more information, see the iLO
user guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (https://www.hpe.com/support/ilo-docshttps://www.hpe.com/support/ilo-docs).
