2.3 LED Functions of Components
This section explains the LEDs of each component. When replacing a FRU, check in
advance the states of LEDs.
Normal system state can be confirmed by checking the operator panel. If an error
occurs in an individual hardware component in the server, the LEDs of the FRU
containing the hardware component which caused the error will indicate the error
location. However, some FRUs such as DIMMs do not have LEDs.
To check the state of a FRU that has no LEDs, use an XSCF shell command such as
showhardconf
in the maintenance terminal. For details, see
TABLE 3-1
.
TABLE 2-5
describes the component LEDs and their functions.
