Pre DC Power On – 15-20 second BMC Initialization when AC is 
applied to the server. Control Panel buttons are disabled until BMC 
initialization is complete.

• 
Unable to use all of the installed memory (more than one 
DIMM installed). 
• 
Correctable errors over a threshold of 10 and migrating to a 
spare DIMM (memory sparing). This indicates that the user 
no longer has spared DIMMs indicating a redundancy lost 
condition. Corresponding DIMM LED should light up. 
• 
In mirrored configuration, when memory mirroring takes 
place and system loses memory redundancy. This is not 
covered by (2). 
• 
Redundancy loss such as power-supply or fan. This does 
not apply to non-redundant sub-systems. 
• 
PCI-e link errors 
• 
CPU failure / disabled – if there are two processors and one 
of them fails 
• 
Fan alarm – Fan failure. Number of operational fans should 
be more than minimum number needed to cool the system 
• 
Non-critical threshold crossed – Temperature and voltage 
• 
Chassis Intrusion events, including lost LAN connection 
Amber 
Blink 
Non-critical 
Non-fatal alarm – system is likely to fail 
• 
Critical voltage threshold crossed 
• 
VRD hot asserted 
• 
Minimum number of fans to cool the system not present or 
failed 
• 
In non-sparing and non-mirroring mode if the threshold of 
ten correctable errors is crossed within the window 
Amber 
Solid on 
Critical, non-
recoverable 
Fatal alarm – system has failed or shutdown 
• 
DIMM failure when there is one DIMM present, no good 
memory present 
• 
Run-time memory uncorrectable error in non-redundant 
mode 
• 
IERR signal asserted 
• 
Processor 1 missing 
• 
Temperature (CPU ThermTrip, memory TempHi, critical 
threshold crossed) 
• 
No power good – power fault 
• 
Processor configuration error (for instance, processor 
stepping mismatch) 
 
 
7.2.1 
System Status LED – BMC Initialization 
When the AC power is first applied to the system and 5V-STBY is present, the BMC controller on the 
server board requires 15-20 seconds to initialize.  During this time, the system status LED will blink, 
alternating between amber and green, and the power button functionality of the control panel is disabled 
preventing the server from powering up.  Once BMC initialization has completed, the status LED will stop 
blinking and the power button functionality is restored and can be used to turn on the server.
