BladeCenter unit LEDs

Select Monitors → LEDs to manage the LED behavior for the BladeCenter unit.

Note: The BladeCenter S unit includes a link to Storage LEDs after the link to I/O module LEDs.

Select LEDs to view the state of the BladeCenter® system LED panel and blade server control panel LEDs. You also can use this choice to turn off the information LED and turn on, turn off, or flash the location LED on the BladeCenter unit and the blade servers. Selecting Text Mode indicates device status without using graphic icons.

The following information is displayed. (Examples of Media Tray LEDs are shown using both icons and Text Mode.)

For the advanced management module, click the blade server name to view the status of the blade server light path diagnostics LEDs. (The LEDs that are shown vary by blade server type.) The following illustration shows an example of the light path diagnostics LEDs that are shown in a Blade LED Details page.
I/O-Module LEDs: The state of the LEDs on some I/O modules. Simulated I/O-module LEDs might also be supported for some I/O modules based on status information that the I/O module maintains, such as port link status, as seen in I/O Module Tasks → Configuration. The state of simulated LEDs is inferred from status conditions and does not indicate the state of an actual LED.
Storage Unit LEDs: (BladeCenter S unit only). The state of the storage units.
Power module cooling devices LEDs (advanced management module installed in a BladeCenter H unit only): The state of the error LED on each power-module fan pack.
Chassis cooling devices LEDs (advanced management module installed in a BladeCenter H unit only): The state of the error LED on each BladeCenter unit cooling device.
