Description

Condition

Corrective action

Drive indicator

The indicator turns solid amber if
there is a drive error.

●

Check the System Event Log to determine if the
drive has an error.

●

Run the appropriate Online Diagnostics test.
Restart the system and run embedded
diagnostics (ePSA).

●

If the drives are configured in a RAID array,
restart the system, and enter the host adapter
configuration utility program.

Temperature
indicator

The indicator turns solid amber if
the system experiences a thermal
error (for example, the ambient
temperature is out of range or
there is a fan failure).

Ensure that none of the following conditions exist:

●

A cooling fan has been removed or has failed.

●

System cover, air shroud, or back filler bracket is
removed.

●

Ambient temperature is too high.

●

External airflow is obstructed.

If the problem persists, see the

Getting help

section.
