Table 39 Explanations of blade status LED states
Possible states and explanations
Represents
LED Color
•
Solid off — blade main processor is not operating
(or blade is booting)
•
Solid on — blade main processor is not operating
(however, this does not apply to the LMD; solid on
indicates that the LMD main processor is operating
normally)
•
Blinks one time every second (1 Hz) — blade main
processor is operating normally
•
Blinks 10 times every second (10 Hz) — identify
mode
•
Solid on for three seconds, then blinks twice at 1
Hz, and then repeats — blade firmware is down-
loading
Processor status
Green
•
Solid off — blade power and control subsystem is
operating normally
•
Solid on — blade power and control subsystem
has failed
Solid on also can mean that the blade power and
control subsystem firmware is autoleveling. In conjunc-
tion with the blue amber LED blinking one time every
10 seconds, this is a normal condition. Autoleveling
takes about three minutes for each blade, and blades
within an I/O management unit autolevel in series. It
can take as long as three minutes for the power and
control subsystem to download. Never remove a blade
when the amber LED is solid on unless it has been on
continuously for at least 10 minutes.
Health status
Amber
•
Solid off — blade is not receiving power
•
Solid on — blade is powered down; ready to be
replaced (swap mode)
•
Blinks one time every 10 seconds (flash) — blade
is powered on; operating normally
Power control status
Blue
Table 40 Blade Status LED States - Normal Conditions
State and Explanation
LED Color
Blinks one time every second (1Hz) — blade main processor is operating
normally (however, this does not apply to the LMD; solid on indicates
that the LMD main process is operating normally)
Green
Solid off — no errors are detected; blade PIP is operating normally
Amber
Blinks one time every 10 seconds (flash) — blade is powered on; oper-
ating normally
