Sun StorEdge[tm] 5210 NAS LEDs

5210 NAS Front Panel LEDs

LED

Color

Function

Power

Green

A continuous green LED indicates the system is powered on. No light indicates the system is off

NIC 1

Green

A green LED indicates network activity via the built in NIC port 1.

NIC 2

Green

A green LED indicates network activity via the built in NIC port 2.

System Status/Fault

Green/Amber

This LED can assume different states (green, amber, steady, blinking) to indicate critical, non-critical, or degraded server operation. 

  • Steady green: Indicates the system is in normal operation
  • Blinking green: Indicates the system is operating in a degraded condition.
  • Steady amber: Indicates the system is in a critical or non-recoverable condition.
  • Blinking amber: Indicates the system is in a non-critical condition.
  • Off: Indicates the system is halted assuming the power LED is green.

See Front-Panel System Status LED for more details regarding this LED.

Hard Disk Drive Activity

Green

  • Blinking green (random): Hard disk activity
  • Steady amber: Hard disk fault
  • Off: No disk activity nor fault condition (or power is off).

System ID

Blue

  • A continuous blue LED indicates the ID button is depressed
  • Off: The ID button is not depressed

Front-Panel System Status LED

Critical Condition

A critical condition or non-recoverable threshold crossing is indicated with a continuous amber status LED and is associated with the following events:

  • Temperature, voltage, or fan critical threshold crossing.
  • Power subsystem failure. The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) asserts this failure whenever it detects a power control fault (for example, the BMC detects that the system power is remaining on even though the BMC has deasserted the signal to turn off power to the system).
  • The system is unable to power up due to incorrectly installed processor(s), or processor incompatibility.
  • A satellite controller such as the HSC, or another IMPI-capable device, such as an add-in server management PCI card, sends a critical or non-recoverable state, via the Set Fault Indication command to the BMC.
  • Critical Event Logging errors, including System Memory Uncorrectable ECC error and Fatal/Uncorrectable Bus errors, such as PCI SERR and PERR.

Non-Critical Condition

A non-critical condition is indicated with a blinking amber status LED and signifies that at least one of the following conditions is present:

  • Temperature, voltage, or fan non-critical threshold crossing.
  • Chassis intrusion.
  • Satellite controller sends a non-critical state, through the Set Fault Indication command, to the BMC.
  • A Set Fault Indication command from the system BIOS. The BIOS may use the Set Fault Indication command to indicate additional, non-critical status such as system memory or CPU configuration changes.

Degraded Condition

A degraded condition is indicated with a blinking green status LED and signifies that at least one of the following conditions is present:

  • Non-redundant power supply operation. This only applies when the BMC is configured for a redundant power subsystem. The power unit configuration is configured via OEM SDR records.
  • A processor is disabled by FRB or BIOS.
  • BIOS has disabled or mapped out some of the system memory.
