About the System Status LED states
The following table provides a description of each LED state.
Table: System Status LED states
Color | State | Criticality | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
No color | Off - The system is not operating. | Not ready |
|
Green | Solid on (SO) | Healthy |
|
Green | ~1 Hz blink | Degraded The system is operating in a degraded state although still functional. or The system is operating in a redundant state but with an impending failure warning. | System degraded:
|
Green | ~1 Hz blink | Degraded (continued) | System degraded (continued):
|
Green and amber alternatively | ~1 Hz blink | System is initializing after source power is applied |
|
Amber | ~1 Hz blink | Non-critical The system is operating in a degraded state with an impending failure warning. However, the system is still functioning. | Non-fatal, although the system is likely to fail due to the following issues:
|
Amber | Solid on | Critical, non-recoverable - System is halted | Fatal alarm - system has failed or shutdown:
