System cover, air shroud, memory module blank, or
back filler bracket is removed.
•
Ambient temperature is too high.
•
External airflow is obstructed.
If the problem persists, see the Getting help section.
Electrical indicator The indicator turns solid amber if the
system experiences an electrical error
(for example, voltage out of range, or
a failed power supply unit (PSU) or

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.
