determine if it is plugged into its drive bay
properly. 2. Examine the drive cabling for any
problems. 3. Examine the boot path settings. 4.
Examine the iLO 2 MP logs for entries related to
processors, processor power modules (PPMs),
shared memory, and core I/O devices (see
“Errors

this LED is either steady amber or steady red, it
indicates RAID drives are degraded or corrupted,

1. Examine console messages for any EFI errors or warnings about BMC
operation or communications.
2. Examine the BMC heartbeat LED; if it is not flashing green, then
replace the system board CRU (see
“Management Subsystem” (page 134)
for details).
3. Test the operation of the BMC by toggling the UID locator switch
LED on the front panel -- the blue LED is turned on/off by the BMC,
