Tips
If the CPU blade is powered off while the STATUS LED is blinking in amber or red, the
indication of the STATUS LED is retained except for certain factors. When the CPU blade
is powered on, the STATUS LED goes on green (normal status).
4.3.3
ID LED
Pressing the ID switch brings the LED to light, and pressing again brings the LED to go off. The ID LED is
intended to identify a specific CPU blade in the rack in which more than one CPU blade is installed. Making this
LED being lit can help the maintenance work to identify the faulty device.
When the recognize command is received from management software such as NEC ESMPRO Manager, the
LED blinks.
You may use the remote control feature of EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 3 (BMC) to perform the same operation as
using the ID switch on the server.
4.3.4
Hard disk drive access LED
The lower LED lights while accessing to a hard disk drive occurs (the LED operates only in the OS boot status).
The LED is lit amber if a hard disk drive cannot be interfaced with the CPU blade correctly due to a hardware
fault in the CPU blade or another failure.
In the RAID System, the LED blinks green (upper LED) or amber (lower LED) alternately while the logical drives
are rebuilt (this does not indicate an error).
After the rebuild process completes, the LED returns to the normal indication. If the rebuild fails, the lower LED
is lit amber.
