Narrow down the observed issue to the specific troubleshooting procedure required. Isolate the failure
to a specific part of the server blade to perform more detailed troubleshooting. For example:
a.
Issue - Front Panel LED blinking
NOTE:
The front panel health LED flashes amber with a warning indication, or flashes red with a fault
indication.
• Look for a system alert on the OA or system console.
• Analyze the alert by using the SEL, to identify the last error logged by the server blade. Use the
iLO 3 MP commands to view the SEL, through the MP menu interface.
