Hard drive indicator codes

Each hard drive carrier has an activity indicator and a status indicator. The indicators provide information about the current status of the hard drive. The activity LED indicates whether hard drive is currently in use or not. The status LED indicates the power condition of the hard drive.

Figure 3. Hard drive indicators

This figure shows hard drive indicators.

* 
NOTE: If the hard drive is in the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) mode, the status indicator (on the right side) does not turn on.

Table 4. Hard drive indicator codes

The Hard drive indicator codes table describes the indicator codes: flashing green, steady green, and amber.

Drive-status indicator pattern (RAID only)

Condition

Flashes green twice per second

Identifying drive or preparing for removal.

Off

Drive ready for insertion or removal.

* 
NOTE: The drive status indicator remains off until all hard drives are initialized after the system is turned on. Drives are not ready for insertion or removal during this time.

Flashes green, amber, and then turns off

Predicted drive failure

Flashes amber four times per second

Drive failed

Flashes green slowly

Drive rebuilding

Steady green

Drive online

Flashes green for three seconds, amber for three seconds, and then turns off after six seconds

Rebuild stopped

NIC indicator codes

Each NIC on the back panel has an indicator that provides information about the network activity and link status. The activity LED indicates whether the NIC is currently connected or not. The link LED indicates the speed of the connected network.

Table 5. NIC indicators

The NIC indicators table describes different NIC indicator codes and condition of the connectivity.

Convention

Status

Condition

A

Link and activity indicators are off

The NIC is not connected to the network.

B

Link indicator is green

The NIC is connected to a valid network at its maximum port speed (1 Gbps or 10 Gbps).

C

Link indicator is amber

The NIC is connected to a valid network at less than its maximum port speed.

D

Activity indicator is flashing green

Network data is being sent or received.

Power supply unit indicator codes

AC power supply units (PSUs) have an illuminated translucent handle that serves as an indicator and DC PSUs have an LED that serves as an indicator.  The indicator shows whether power is present or a power fault has occurred.

Figure 5. AC PSU status indicator

This figure shows AC PSU status indicator/handle.

AC PSU status indicator/handle

Table 6. AC PSU status indicators

This table describes the AC PSU status indicators and what condition is the PSU when the power indicator light is green, flashing green, flashing amber, and when it is not lit.

Convention

Power indicator pattern

Condition

A

Green

A valid power source is connected to the PSU and the PSU is operational.

B

Flashing green

When the firmware of the PSU is being updated, the PSU handle flashes green.

C

Flashing green and turns off

When hot-adding a PSU, the PSU handle flashes green five times at 4 Hz rate and turns off. This indicates a PSU mismatch with respect to efficiency, feature set, health status, and supported voltage.

* 
NOTE: Ensure that both the PSUs are of the same capacity.
* 
CAUTION: For AC PSUs, use only PSUs with the Extended Power Performance (EPP) label on the back.
* 
NOTE: Mixing PSUs from previous generations of Dell PowerEdge servers can result in a PSU mismatch condition or failure to turn the system on.

D

Flashing amber

Indicates a problem with the PSU.

* 
CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the PSU with the flashing indicator. Swapping the PSU to make a matched pair can result in an error condition and unexpected system shutdown. To change from a high output configuration to a low output configuration or vice versa, you must turn off the system.
* 
CAUTION: AC PSUs support both 220 V and 110 V input voltages with the exception of Titanium PSUs, which support only 220 V. When two identical PSUs receive different input voltages, they can output different wattages, and trigger a mismatch.
* 
CAUTION: If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same type and have the same maximum output power.
* 
CAUTION: Combining AC and DC PSUs is not supported and triggers a mismatch.

E

Not lit

Power is not connected.

iDRAC Direct LED indicator codes

The iDRAC Direct LED indicator lights up to indicate that the port is connected and is being used as a part of the iDRAC subsystem.

* 
NOTE: The iDRAC Direct LED indicator does not turn on when the USB port is used in the USB mode.

Figure 6. iDRAC Direct LED indicator

This figure shows the iDRAC Direct status indicator.

Table 7. iDRAC Direct LED indicators

This table describes the iDRAC Direct status indicators and what is the condition when the LED flashes green, continuously flashes green and when it’s not lit.

Convention

iDRAC Direct LED indicator pattern

Condition

A

Green

Turns green for a minimum of two seconds to indicate the start and end of a file transfer.

B

Flashing green

Indicates file transfer or any operation tasks.

C

Green and turns off

Indicates that the file transfer is complete.

D

Not lit

Indicates that the USB is ready to be removed or that a task is complete.

The following table describes iDRAC Direct activity when configuring iDRAC Direct by using your laptop and cable (Laptop Connect):

Table 8. iDRAC Direct LED indicator patterns

The iDRAC Direct LED indicator patterns table describes the iDRAC status when it is solid green, flashing green, and when it is turned off.

iDRAC Direct LED indicator pattern

Condition

Solid green for two seconds

Indicates that the laptop is connected.

Flashing green (on for two seconds and off for two seconds) 

Indicates that the laptop connected is recognized.

Turns off

Indicates that the laptop is unplugged.
