Light path diagnostics LEDs

Use this information to diagnose possible errors that are indicated by the light path diagnostics LEDs.

The following table describes the LEDs on the light path diagnostics panel and the light path diagnostics LEDs on the system board. LEDs on the light path diagnostics panel are visible from the top of the compute node. See Viewing the light path diagnostics LEDs for information about lighting the LEDs.

Table 1. Light path diagnostics LEDs.

Two column table.

Lit light path diagnostics LEDDescription
NoneThe compute node is not sufficiently charged to display the LEDs on the system board.
Battery errorThe system CMOS battery is not installed or is not working.
BMC errorFuture use only.
DC power errorFuture use only.
DIMM x errorA memory error occurred.
Light path diagnosticsThe power source for the light path diagnostics LEDs is charged.
Light path diagnostics onlyNo errors have occurred.
MemoryA memory error has occurred.
Microprocessor x errorThe IMM2 lights this LED when a microprocessor has failed or overheated or the start microprocessor (CPU 1) is missing. The fault LED on the front panel is also lit.
MismatchThe microprocessors are mismatched. If the Memory LED is also lit, the DIMMs are mismatched.
NMIThe system board has failed.
SAS/SATA backplane errorA hard disk drive backplane error has occurred.
System boardThe system board has failed.
TemperatureThe system temperature has exceeded a threshold level.
