Condition

Corrective Action

Drive indicator

The indicator turns solid amber, if there is a drive error.

● Check the System event log to determine if the drive has an error.

● Run the appropriate Online Diagnostics test. Restart the system, and run embedded diagnostics (ePSA).

● If the drives are configured in a RAID array, restart the system, and enter the host adapter configuration utility program.

Temperature indicator

The indicator turns solid amber, if the system experiences a thermal error (for example, the ambient temperature is out of range or there is a fan failure).

Ensure that none of the following conditions exist:

● A cooling fan has been removed or has failed.

● System cover, air shroud, or back filler bracket is removed.

● Ambient temperature is too high.

● External airflow is obstructed.

Electrical indicator

The indicator turns solid amber, if the system experiences an electrical error (for example, voltage out of range, or a failed power supply unit (PSU) or voltage regulator).

Check the System event log or system messages for the specific issue. If it is due to a problem with the PSU, check the LED on the PSU. Reseat the PSU.

Memory indicator

The indicator turns solid amber if a memory error occurs.

Check the System event log or system messages for the location of the failed memory. Reseat the memory module.

 

PCIe indicator

The indicator turns solid amber, if a PCIe card experiences an error.

Restart the system. Update any required drivers for the PCIe card. Reinstall the card.
