Troubleshooting and error codes
| Icon | Description | Condition | Corrective action |
| Drive indicator | The indicator turns solid amber if there is a drive error. | • Check the System Event Log to determine if the drive has an error. • Run the appropriate Online Diagnostics test. • Restart the system and run embedded diagnostics (ePSA). • If the drives are configured in a RAID array, restart the system, and enter the host adapter configuration utility program. |
|
| Temperature indicator | The indicator turns solid amber if the system experiences a thermal error (for example, the ambient temperature is out of range or there is a fan failure). | Ensure that none of the following conditions exist: • A cooling fan has been removed or has failed. • System cover, air shrouds, or back filler bracket has been removed. • Ambient temperature is too high. • External airflow is obstructed. If the problem persists, see the Support section. |
