Resolving The Problem
Information LED panel
The following illustration shows the status lights on the Information LED panel.

1 System power light: When this green light is on, power is present in the server. When this light flashes, the server is in standby mode (the system power supply is turned off and ac current is present). When this light is off, the power subsystem, the ac power, or a light has failed.
Attention: If the system power light is off, it does not mean there is no electrical current present in the server. The light might be burned out. To remove all electrical current from the server, you must unplug the server power cords from the electrical outlets or from the uninterruptible power supply.
2 POST-complete light: This green light is on when the power-on self-test (POST) completes without any errors.
3 Hard disk drive activity light: This green light flickers when there is activity on a hard disk drive.
4 Information light: When this amber light is on, the server power supplies are nonredundant or some other noncritical event has occurred. A light on the diagnostic panel may also be on. The event is recorded in the Event log. See "Choices available from the Configuration/Setup main menu" on page 40 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual for information on viewing the Event log.
5 System error light: This amber light is on when a system error occurs. A light on the diagnostics LED panel will also be on to further isolate the error. (For more information, see "Diagnostic panel LEDs" on page 17 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual.")
6 Ethernet transmit/receive activity light: When this green light is on, there is activity between the server
and the network.
7 Ethernet-link status light: When this green light is on, there is an active connection on the Ethernet port.
8 Ethernet speed 100 Mbps: When this green light is on, the Ethernet speed is 100 Mbps. When the light is off, the Ethernet speed is 10 Mbps.
9 Processor activity lights: One or more of these green lights are on when there is microprocessor activity. The number of lights that are on indicates the number of microprocessors with activity.
