1 When all four LEDs described in this table flash simultaneously, a power fault has occurred.
2 Facility power is not present, power cord is not attached, no power supplies are installed, power supply
failure has occurred, or the power button cable is disconnected.
3 If the health LED indicates a degraded or critical state, review the system IML or use iLO to review the
system health status.
Systems Insight Display LEDs
The Systems Insight Display LEDs represent the system board layout. The display enables diagnosis with the
access panel installed.

If power is off, the front panel LED is not active. For
status, see "Rear panel LEDs on page 17."
Power supply LEDs Off = Normal
Solid amber = Power subsystem degraded, power
supply failure, or input power lost.
PCI riser LED Off = Normal
Amber = Incorrectly installed PCI riser cage
Over temp LED Off = Normal
Amber = High system temperature detected
Proc DIMM Group LED Off = Normal
Amber = Failed DIMM or configuration issue
Power cap LED Off = System is in standby, or no cap is set.
Solid green = Power cap applied
When the health LED on the front panel illuminates either amber or red, the server is experiencing a health
event. For more information on the combination of these LEDs, see "Systems Insight Display combined
LED descriptions on page 12."
Systems Insight Display combined LED descriptions
The combined illumination of the following LEDs indicates a system condition:
• Systems Insight Display LEDs
• System power LED
• Health LED

Status
Processor (amber) Red Amber One or more of the following
conditions may exist:
• Processor in socket X has failed.
• Processor X is not installed in the
socket.
• Processor X is unsupported.
• ROM detects a failed processor
during POST.
Processor (amber) Amber Green Processor in socket X is in a pre-
failure condition.
DIMM (amber) Red Green One or more DIMMs have failed.
DIMM (amber) Amber Green DIMM in slot X is in a pre-failure
condition.
Over temp (amber) Amber Green The Health Driver has detected a
cautionary temperature level.
Over temp (amber) Red Amber The server has detected a hardware
critical temperature level.
PCI riser (amber) Red Green The PCI riser cage is not seated
properly.
Fan (amber) Amber Green One fan has failed or has been
removed.
Fan (amber) Red Green Two or more fans have failed or been
removed.
Power supply (amber) Red Amber One or more of the following
conditions may exist:
• Only one power supply is installed
and that power supply is in
standby.
• Power supply fault
• System board fault
Power supply (amber) Amber Green One or more of the following
conditions may exist:
• Redundant power supply is
installed and only one power
supply is functional.
• AC power cord is not plugged into
redundant power supply.
• Redundant power supply fault
• Power supply mismatch at POST
or power supply mismatch through
hot-plug addition

Waiting for power
Power cap (green) — Green Power is available.
Power cap (flashing amber) — Amber Power is not available.
IMPORTANT:
If more than one DIMM slot LED is illuminated, further troubleshooting is required. Test each bank of
DIMMs by removing all other DIMMs. Isolate the failed DIMM by replacing each DIMM in a bank with a
known working DIMM.
Drives
NVMe drive components and LEDs
Item Description
1 Release lever
2 Activity ring
3 Do Not Remove LED1
4 Request to Remove NVMe Drive button
1Do not remove an NVMe SSD from the drive bay while the Do Not Remove button LED is flashing. The Do
Not Remove button LED flashes to indicate the device is still in use. Removal of the NVMe SSD before the
device has completed and ceased signal/traffic flow can cause loss of data.
14 Drives

SAS/SATA drive components and LEDs
Item Description Status
1 Locate • Solid blue = The drive is being identified by a host
application.
• Flashing blue = The drive carrier firmware is being
updated or requires an update.
2 Activity ring LED • Rotating green = Drive activity.
• Off = No drive activity.
3 Do not remove LED • Solid white = Do not remove the drive. Removing
the drive causes one or more of the logical drives to
fail.
• Off = Removing the drive does not cause a logical
drive to fail.
4 Drive status LED • Solid green = The drive is a member of one or more
logical drives.
• Flashing green = The drive is rebuilding or
performing a RAID migration, strip size migration,
capacity expansion, or logical drive extension, or is
erasing.
• Flashing amber/green = The drive is a member of
one or more logical drives and predicts the drive will
fail.
• Flashing amber = The drive is not configured and
predicts the drive will fail.
• Solid amber = The drive has failed.
• Off = The drive is not configured by a RAID
controller.
Drive guidelines
CAUTION:
Do not remove an NVMe SSD from the drive bay while the Do Not Remove button LED is flashing. The
Do Not Remove button LED flashes to indicate the device is still in use. Removal of the NVMe SSD
before the device has completed and ceased signal/traffic flow can cause loss of data.
Depending on the configuration, this server supports SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives.
Observe the following general guidelines:
SAS/SATA drive components and LEDs 15

• For drive numbering, see "Drive bay numbering on page 8."
• The NVMe SSD 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.
• The system automatically sets all device numbers.
• If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest device number.
• Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped into the same drive array.
