aThe user application can select the LED color using the Set FRU LED State IPMI command. Only red or amber
can be selected for the OOS LED.
Controlled by the user, so the implementation may vary.b
• Red or amber: RTM is out of service
• Off: RTM is in service
bTheuser application can control LED illuminationusing the SetFRU LED State IPMI command.LED illumination
can be turned on or off, the LED can be configured to blink, or the lamp test function can be enabled. To use the
command, specify the FRU ID, LED ID (which is “1” for the OOS LED), LED function, LED on duration, and
illumination color. Command usage is described in the PICMG specification, FRU LED Control commands.
PWR LED2 Power good Green Controlled by the MMC.
• Green: Power to the RTM is normal
• Off: RTM is not powered or in the hot-swap process
ACT LED3 Activity Amber Controlled by the RTM’s HDD.
• Blinking: HDD activity
• Off: No activity
H/S BLUE LED Hot swap Blue Controlled by the MMC.
• Solid: Ready for hot swap
• Long blink: Activating the module after insertion
• Short blink: Preparing for hot swap
• Off: No hot-swap activity in progress

SFP 2 N/A Link status Green or
amber Controlled by the alarm CPLD over the RTM-link bus.
• Green: 1000BASE connection
• Amber: 10/100BASE connection (Copper only)
• Solid: Link OK
• Blinking: Link activity
• Off: Link fail, port disabled
