What could be causing the System Status LED flashing amber light on an Intel® Server System R2224WFTZS
Description
Intel® Server Board S2600WFT-based system's System Status LED shows a flashing amber light in the front panel.
Resolution
- Refer to Technical Product Specification for Intel® Server Board S2600WF Family.
- Go to the System Status LED section, and then Table 56, which describes the state of the System Status LED.
1 Hz blinking amber means it is a Warning alarm – system is likely to fail:
- Critical threshold crossed – Voltage, temperature (including HSBP temp), input power to power supply, output current for main power rail from power supply, and PROCHOT (Therm Ctrl) sensors.
- VRD Hot asserted.
- Minimum number of fans to cool the system not present or failed.
- Power Unit Redundancy sensor – Insufficient resources offset (indicates not enough power supplies present).
- Extract the System Event Log (SEL) by accessing the Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (Integrated BMC) Web Console. Generate the SEL logs from within the Server Health->Event Log->Save Event Log section.
- Analyze the System Event Log for possible errors, such as warning or critical events.
