  • Light path diagnostic LEDs
    Light path diagnostic LEDs are a system of LEDs on the BladeCenter S chassis and components that can be used to identify system errors. If the front or rear system error LED of the BladeCenter S chassis is lit, one or more error LEDs on a component also might be lit. These LEDs help identify the cause of the problem.
  • Event log
    The advanced management module event log contains messages that are generated while the advanced management module is monitoring the BladeCenter S system.
