Under normal operating conditions, the amber LED on the blade is not lit.
If you see that the amber LED on an LCB or FC I/O blade is either
blinking continuously or solidly lit for at least 10 minutes, service the
blade as soon as possible. The library may or may not generate RAS
tickets, depending on the source of the problem.
