Table 2-2 MC750 Front Panel LEDs

LED
Description

System status

Indicates system status:

  • A green light indicates the system is operating normally.
  • A blinking green light indicates the system is operating in a degraded condition.

For more information, see Table 2-3.

Power

Indicates whether the system has power or is sleeping:

  • A green light indicates the system is operating normally.
  • No light indicates the system is off.
  • A blinking green light indicates the system is sleeping.

The sleep indication is maintained on standby by the chipset. If the system is powered down without going through BIOS, the state in effect at the time of power off will be restored when the system is powered on until the BIOS clears it. If the system is not powered down normally, it is possible that the power light will be blinking at the same time that the system status light is off due to a failure or configuration change that prevents the BIOS from running.

Hard drive activity

Indicates hard drive activity:

  • A blinking green light indicates the fixed disk drive is active.
  • No light indicates no drive activity, or the system is powered off or sleeping.

Drive activity is determined from the onboard hard disk controllers. The server board also provides a header giving access to this light for add-in controllers.

NIC activity

Indicates activity between the system and the network:

  • A blinking green light indicates there is activity.
  • No light indicates there is no activity.

The following table describes the conditions where the system status LED might be lit.

 

Table 2-3 MC750 System Status

Condition
Description

Critical

Any critical or non-recoverable threshold crossing associated with the following events:

  • temperature, voltage, or fan critical threshold crossing
  • power subsystem failure
  • the system is unable to power up due to incorrectly installed processors or processor incompatibility
  • critical event logging errors, including System Memory Uncorrectable ECC error and fatal/uncorrectable bus errors, such as PCI SERR and PERR

Non-critical

A non-critical condition is a threshold crossing associated with the following events:

  • temperature, voltage, or fan non-critical threshold crossing
  • chassis intrusion
  • Set Fault Indication command from system BIOS; the BIOS may use the command to indicate additional, non-critical status such as system memory or CPU configuration changes

Degraded

A degraded condition is associated with the following events:

  • one or more processors are disabled by Fault Resilient Boot (FRB) or BIOS
  • BIOS has disabled or mapped out some of the system memory
