LEDs

Overview

LED colors are used consistently throughout the enclosure and its components for indicating status:
Green
Good or positive indication
Flashing green/amber
Non-critical condition
Amber
Critical fault

580W PCM LEDs

Under normal conditions the PCM OK LEDs will be a constant green. When a fault occurs, the colors of the LEDs will be as shown in the following table. See also Figure 2 .

Table 1. PSU LED status
PCM OK(Green) Fan Fail (Amber) AC Fail (Amber) DC Fail (Amber) Status
Off Off Off Off No AC on any PCM
Off Off On On No AC on this PCM only
On Off Off Off AC present; PCM working correctly
On Off Off On PCM fan speed is outside acceptable limits
Off On Off Off PCM fan has failed
Off On On On PCM fault (over temperature, over voltage, over current)
Flashing Off Off Off Standby mode
Off Flashing Flashing Flashing PCM firmware download in progress

Ops panel LEDs

The front panel displays the aggregated status of all the modules. The enclosure status LEDs located on the front panel are labeled in Figure 1 and they are individually described in the narrative subsections that follow the table.

Table 2. Ops Panel LED states
System Power (Green/Amber) Module Fault (Amber) Logical Fault (Amber) LED Display Associated LEDs/Alarms Status
On Off Off 5V standby power present, overall power failed or switched off
On On On On Ops panel power on (5s), test state
On Off Off Power on, all functions good
On On PCM fault LEDs,fan fault LEDs Any PCM fault, fan fault, over or under temperature
On On SBB module LEDs Any SBB module fault
On On No module LEDs Enclosure logical fault
On Flash Module status LED on SBB module Unknown(invalid or mixed) SBB module type installed, I2C bus failure (inter-SBB communications), I/O VPD configuration error
On Flash PCM fault LEDs, fan fault LEDs Unknown(invalid or mixed) PCM type installed or I2C bus failure (PCM comms)
On On Array in failed or degraded state Drive failure has occurred causing loss of availability or redundancy
On Flash Array in impacted state Arrays operating background function
On Flash SES state S1 Enclosure ID setting different frominitial power-on setting
Flash Enclosure identification or invalid ID selected

Disk drive carrier module LEDs

Disk drive status is monitored by a blue LED and an amber LED mounted on the front of each drive carrier module, as shown in the figures below. The drive module LED conditions are defined in the table following the figure.
  • In normal operation the green LED is on, and flickers as the drive operates.
  • In normal operation the amber LED state is:
    • Off if there is no drive present.
    • Off as the drive operates.
    • On if there is a drive fault.

Table 3. LEDs: Drive carrier LEDs
Drive LED (green) Drive LED (amber) Associated Ops Panel LED Status
Off Off None No drive installed
On/ Flashing Off None Drive installed and operational
On Flashing: 1s on/1s off None SES device identity set
On On Logical fault (amber) SES device fault bit set
Off On Module fault (amber) Power control circuit failure
On Flashing: 3s on/1s off Logical fault (amber) SES device rebuild bit set

I/O Module LEDs

I/O module LED states are shown in the following table.

Table 4. I/O module LED states
I/O Module OK (green) I/O Module Fault (amber) SAS Activity LED (green) Status
On Off I/O module OK
Off On I/O module fault. For replacement procedure see Replacing an I/O module
Off No external host port connection
On External host port connection - no activity
Flashing External host port connection - activity
Flashing I/O module VPD error
