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 card are visible from the top of the compute node. See Viewing the light path diagnostics LEDs for information about lighting the LEDs.

Lit light path diagnostics LEDDescription
Light path diagnosticsThis LED lights when the light path LED card is installed
MemoryThe IMM2 lights this LED, the corresponding DIMM error LEDs on the system board and the fault LED when a memory fault has occurred.
MismatchThe IMM2 lights this LED and the fault LED when a mismatch has occurred between the processors, DIMMs, or hard disk drives within the configuration as reported by POST.
NMIThe IMM2 lights this LED and the fault LED when an nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) occurs.
SpareReserved for future use
System boardThe IMM2 lights this LED and the fault LED when a system board error has been detected.
TemperatureThe IMM lights this LED and the fault LED when an over-temperature condition has occurred that was critical enough to shut down the compute node.
Table 1. Light path LED errors
Light path diagnostics LEDDescriptionAction
NoneAn error has occurred and cannot be isolated, or the IMM2 has failed.Make sure that the light path diagnostics LED is lit to ensure that there is enough power in the compute node to light the rest of the LEDs.
Battery errorThe battery failed.
  1. Reseat the battery.
  2. Replace the battery.
  3. (Trained service technician only) Replace the base assembly.
DIMM x errorA memory error occurred.
  1. Make sure that the DIMM that is indicated by the lit LED is supported.
  2. Reseat the DIMM that is indicated by the lit LED.
  3. Replace the DIMM that is indicated by the lit LED (see Removing a DIMM, and Installing a DIMM)
Note
Multiple DIMM LEDs do not necessarily indicate multiple DIMM failures. If more than one DIMM LED is lit, reseat or replace one DIMM at a time until the error is corrected (see Removing a DIMM, and Installing a DIMM)
Light path diagnostics LEDSystem board light path diagnostics LEDs have power.Check for error LEDs that are lit on the system board.
Microprocessor x errorThe microprocessor has failed, or overheated, or the boot microprocessor is missing.
  1. Check the CMM log for more information. Perform the appropriate action.
  2. If the log shows that a microprocessor is disabled or that a microprocessor IERR has occurred, perform the appropriate action.
  3. (Trained service technician only) Reset the microprocessor that is indicated by the lit LED.
  4. (Trained service technician only) Replace the microprocessor that is indicated by the lit LED.
Microprocessor mismatchThe microprocessors do not match.Make sure that all installed microprocessors are identical (number of cores, cache size, type, clock speed, and internal / external clock frequencies).
NMIThe system board failed.
  1. Reinsert the compute node, and then restart the compute node. Check the IMM event log for information about the error.
  2. (Trained service technician only) Replace the base assembly.
System boardThe system board failed.(Trained service technician only) Replace the base assembly.
TemperatureThe system temperature has exceeded the threshold level
  1. Check the function of the shared compute node and chassis unit resources.
  2. Make sure that the room temperature is not too high.
Hard disk driveA hard disk drive failed.Run the fixed disk or attached disk diagnostic test. If the drive passes the test but continues to have a problem replace the hard disk drive (see Removing a hot-swap hard disk drive and Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive)..
Adapter faultAn adapter failed.Run the adapter card diagnostics test. If adapter passes the test but continues to have a problem, replace the adapter.
