Hard drive
indicator
Blinks amber if a hard drive
experiences an error.
See the system event log to
determine the Hard drive that has an
error. Run the appropriate online
diagnostics test. Restart system and
run embedded diagnostics (ePSA).
Electrical indicator Blinks amber if the system
experiences an electrical
error (for example, voltage
out of range, or a failed
power supply unit or voltage
regulator).
See the system event log or system
messages for the specific issue. If it is
because of a problem with the power
supply unit (PSU), check the LED on
the PSU. Reseat the PSU by removing
and reinstalling it. If the issue persists,
see
Temperature
indicator
Blinks amber if the system
experiences a thermal error
(for example, a temperature
out of range or fan failure).
Ensure that none of the following
conditions exist:
• A cooling fan is removed or has
failed.
• System cover, cooling shroud, EMI
filler panel, memory-module
blank, or back-filler bracket is
removed.
• Ambient temperature is too high.
• External airflow is obstructed.
.
Memory indicator Blinks amber if a memory
error occurs.
See the system event log or system
messages for the location of the failed
memory. Reinstall the memory
device. If the issue persists, see
