Off No power present
When the two 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 Integrated Management Log (IML) or use HPE iLO to
review the system health status.
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.

S1 Off Off = iLO 5 security is enabled.
On = iLO 5 security is disabled.
S2 Off Reserved

S4 Off Reserved
S5 Off Off = Power-on password is enabled.

To access the redundant ROM, set S1, S5, and S6 to On.
When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared to restore all configuration settings
to their manufacturing defaults.
When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position and Secure Boot is enabled, some configurations cannot be
restored. For more information, see Configuring security.
