Hard drive
indicator
The indicator flashes amber
if there is a hard drive error.
Check the System Event Log to determine
the hard drive that has an error. Run the
appropriate Online Diagnostics test. Restart
the system and run embedded diagnostics
(ePSA). If the hard drives are configured in a
RAID array, restart the system and enter the
host adapter configuration utility program.

The indicator flashes amber
if the system experiences an
electrical error (for example,
voltage out of range, or a
failed power supply unit
(PSU) or voltage regulator).
Check the System Event Log or system
messages for the specific issue. If it is due
to a problem with the PSU, check the LED
on the PSU. Reseat the PSU. If the problem
persists, see the Getting help section.
