standby, and if any error

exists (for example, a failed

fan or HDD).

See the System Event Log or system

messages for the specific issue. For more

information about error messages, see the

Dell Event and Error Messages Reference

Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals.

Invalid memory configurations can cause

the system to stop responding at startup

without any video output. See the Getting

help section in this document.

HDD

indicator

The indicator blinks amber if

a HDD experiences an error.

See the System Event Log to determine the

HDD that has an error. Run the appropriate

Online Diagnostics test. Restart system and

run embedded diagnostics (ePSA). If the

HDDs are configured in a RAID array, restart

the system and start the host adapter

configuration utility program.

Electrical

indicator

The indicator blinks amber if

the system experiences an

electrical error (for example,

voltage out of range, or a

failed PSU or voltage

regulator).

See the System Event Log or system

messages for the specific issue. If it is

because of a issue with the PSU, check the

LED on the PSU. Reseat the PSU by

removing and reinstalling it. If the issue

persists, see the Getting help section in this

document.

Temperature

indicator

The indicator blinks amber if

the system experiences a

thermal error (for example, a

temperature out of range or

fan failure).

Ensure that none of the following

conditions exist:

• A cooling fan is removed or has failed.

• System cover, cooling shroud, EMI filler

panel, memory-module blank, or back-

filler bracket is removed.
