Answer
Possible Reasons
Possible Solutions
No, it is off.
Blade PC is not seated properly.
Determine whether the problem lies with
the blade PC or with the enclosure:
●
Remove the blade PC from the
enclosure, and insert it into a
different bay. If the power LED on
the blade PC comes on and turns
green, the problem lies with the
original bay.
●
If the power LED on the blade PC
does not come on, try placing a
different blade PC in the original
bay. If the power LED on the new
blade PC comes on, the old blade
PC may have failed.
●
Contact HP or your authorized
service provider for replacement
parts and service.
Either the blade PC or the blade PC bay
is not functioning properly.
