  • System-error LED: When this yellow LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred. A system-error LED is also on the rear of the server. An LED on the LCD system information display panel (if available), the operator information panel or on the system board is also lit to help isolate the error. This LED is controlled by the IMM.
