About the System Status LED states

The following table provides a description of each LED state.

Table: System Status LED states

Color

State

Criticality

Description

No color

Off - The system is not operating.

Not ready

  • System power is off (AC and/or DC)

  • System is in EuP Lot6 Off Mode

Green

Solid on (SO)

Healthy

  • System is in S5 Soft-Off State

  • Indicates that the system is running (in S0 State) and its status is "Healthy". The system is not exhibiting any errors. AC power is present and BMC has booted and manageability functionality is up and running.

  • After a BMC reset, and with the chassis ID solid on, the BMC is booting Linux*. Control has been passed from BMC uBoot to BMC Linux*. The BMC is in this state for roughly 10 - 20 seconds.

Green

~1 Hz blink

Degraded

The system is operating in a degraded state although still functional.

or

The system is operating in a redundant state but with an impending failure warning.

System degraded:

  • Redundant loss, such as power supply or fan. Applies only if the associated platform sub-system has redundancy capabilities.

  • Fan warning or failure when the number of fully operational fans is more than minimum number needed to cool the system.

  • Non-critical threshold crossed: Temperature (including HSBP temp), voltage, input power to power supply, output current for main power rail from power supply and Processor Thermal Control (Therm Ctrl) sensors.

  • Power supply predictive failure occurred while redundant power supply configuration was present.

  • Unable to use all of the installed memory (one or more DIMMs failed/disabled but functional memory remains available).

  • Battery failure

  • BMC executing in uBoot. (Indicated by Chassis ID blinking at 3Hz). System in degraded state (no manageability). BMC uBoot is running but has not transferred control to the BMC Linux. Server will be in this state 6-8 seconds after BMC reset while it pulls the Linux image into flash.

Green

~1 Hz blink

Degraded (continued)

System degraded (continued):

  • BMC Watchdog has reset the BMC.

  • Power unit sensor offset for configuration error is asserted.

  • SSD Hot Swap Controller is off-line or degraded.

Green and amber alternatively

~1 Hz blink

System is initializing after source power is applied

  • PFR in the process of updating/authenticating/recovering when source power is connected, system firmware being updated.

  • System not ready to take power button event/signal.

Amber

~1 Hz blink

Non-critical

The system is operating in a degraded state with an impending failure warning. However, the system is still functioning.

Non-fatal, although the system is likely to fail due to the following issues:

  • Critical threshold crossed - Voltage, temperature (including HSBP temp), input power to power supply, output current for main power rail from power supply and PROCHOT (Therm Ctrl) sensors.

  • VRD Hot asserted

  • Minimum number of fans to cool the system not present or failed

  • Hard drive fault

  • Power Unit Redundancy sensor - Insufficient resources offset (indicates not enough power supplies present)

  • In non-sparing and non-mirroring mode, if the threshold of correctable errors is crossed within the window.

  • Invalid firmware image detected during boot up or firmware update.

Amber

Solid on

Critical, non-recoverable - System is halted

Fatal alarm - system has failed or shutdown:

  • CPU CATERR signal asserted

  • MSID mismatch detected (CATERR also asserts for this case)

  • CPU0 is missing

  • CPU Thermal Trip

  • No power - power fault

  • DIMM failure when there is only one DIMM present; no other good DIMM memory present

  • Runtime memory uncorrectable error in non-redundant mode.

  • DIMM Thermal Trip or equivalent

  • BMC/Video memory test failed (Chassis ID shows blue/solid-on for this condition)

  • SBB Thermal Trip or equivalent

  • 240VA fault

  • Both uBoot BMC FW images are bad (Chassis ID shows blue/solid-on for this condition)

  • Fatal Error in processor initialization:

    • Processor family not identical

    • Processor model not identical

    • Processor core/thread counts not identical

    • Processor cache size not identical

    • Unable to synchronize processor frequency

    • Unable to synchronize QPI link frequency

  • BMC fail authentication with non-recoverable condition, system hang at T-1; boot PCH only, system hang; PIT failed, system lockdown.
