No system power (FPGA heartbeat LED off)	Off	Off	Off	Off	Off	If the AC power is on, but the system board does not have power, then: Check the power supply unit (PSU) or power distribution board (PDB) if any. If the PSU or PDB has any error, replace it. If the PSU or PDB is good, replace the system board.
XCC firmware recoverable error	Blink	N/A	Off	N/A	N/A	Information only. No action is required.
