Appendix D. Component and Attention LEDs
This chapter contains information about component LEDs, which assist in identifying failing components in
your system.
The LEDs are located either on the component itself or on the carrier of the component (for example,
memory card, fan, memory module, CPU). LEDs are either green or amber.
Green LEDs indicate either of the following:
v
Electrical power is present.
v
Activity is occuring on a link. (The system could be sending or receiving information.)
Amber LEDs indicate a fault or identify condition. If your system or one of the components on your system
has an amber LED turned on or blinking, identify the problem and take the appropriate action to restore
the system to normal.
The following table identifies the location, color and status of your system component LEDs.
