Diagnostic panel LEDs
The following illustration shows the LEDs on the diagnostics panel inside the server.
See Table 1 on page 31 for information on identifying problems using these LEDs.
Light path diagnostics
You can use the light path diagnostics built into the server to quickly identify the type
of system error that occurred. The server is designed so that LEDs remain illuminated
when the server shuts down, as long as the power supplies are operating properly.
This feature helps you to isolate the problem if an error causes the server to shut
down.
If the system error LED (on the information LED panel) is not lit and no diagnostics
panel LEDs are lit, it means that the light path diagnostics have not detected a system
error.
