Table D-4: Is the Server Blade Internal Health LED Solid Green?

Answer Possible

Reasons Possible

Solutions

No, it is amber.

A DIMM is in pre-failure
condition.

One of the three SCSI backplane
fans has failed.

Perform the following steps:

1. Power down the system, and

disconnect all possible fibre channel
cables at the back of the server
blade.

2. Remove the server blade from the

enclosure.

3. With the system powered down,

remove the access panel.

4. Visually inspect the system for

damage.

5. Reseat or replace DIMMs.

6. Be sure that the proper connections

exist among the DC converter
module, system board, and
LED/power switch board.

7. Reinstall the access panel.

8. Reinstall and power up the server

blade.

If the health LED is still not solid green,
perform one of the following actions:

•

Use the iLO remote console to
continue the diagnosis.

•

Use the I/O cable connectors,
depending on the server blade
model, to continue diagnosis.

•

Contact an authorized service
provider for replacement parts and
service.
