Diagnostic Indicators
The diagnostic indicators on the system front panel display error status during system startup.
The following section describes system conditions and possible corrective actions associated with these indicators:

Condition Corrective Action
The indicator blinks
amber if the system
experiences an
electrical error (for
example, voltage out
of range, or a failed
power supply or
voltage regulator).
See the System Event Log or system messages for the specific issue.
If it is due to a problem with the power supply, check the LED on the
power supply. Re-seat the power supply by removing and reinstalling
it. If the problem persists, see Getting Help.

amber if the system
experiences a
thermal error (for

temperature out of
range or fan failure).
Ensure that none of the following conditions exist:
• A cooling fan is removed or has failed.
• System cover, cooling shroud, EMI filler panel, memory-
module blank, or back-filler bracket is removed.
• Ambient temperature is too high.
• External airflow is obstructed.
