Table 1. System Status LED Patterns during Normal Operation
LED Color Hardware Status Recommended Action
No light The system is off, or there is no power. Verify that the system is on and has completed booting.

Steady amber (for more than 5 seconds, can take over a minute to complete the POST) The system is going through the power-up process. No action is required.
Steady amber (for more than a few minutes)

The system is in an unknown state, the boot failed, or the system is faulty.

When the POST completes and the switch has failed, a steady amber color may result.

Perform the following steps:

  1. Connect a serial cable to the system.
  2. Reboot the system.
  3. Check the failure indicated on the system console.
  4. Contact your solution provider.
Flashing amber and green Attention is required. Several variables can cause this status, including a single power supply failure, a fan failure, or one or more environmental ranges being exceeded.

Check the management interface and the error log for details on the cause of the status.
