ExpressScope LEDs

On the front of the FT server with the front bezel removed, the EXPRESSSCOPE LEDs (amber) can be accessed to determine if either CPU/IO module has failures. The LEDs on the upper line correspond to the upper names and the LEDs on the lower line correspond to the lower names.
Note: If any component has failed in a CPU/IO module including DIMMs and the power supply, the entire CPU/IO module is replaced. All hard disk drives should be labeled for slot location, then removed from the faulty unit. When a replacement module is received, the hard disk drives should be replaced into the same slots to maintain the mirrored images.

Name Meaning Possible Cause Action
Module Power LED Indicates Power condition of module.

Green: Module DC ON

Green blinking: Module DC OFF (AC ON)

Off: Module AC OFF

PRIMARY LED Indicates Primary state of IO Module.

Green: IO part of Module is working on priority.

Off: Module is working as Secondary.

Module ID LED Pushing ID Switch, or demanding ID from remote.

Green: Pushed ID Switch

Green Blinking: demanded ID from remote

Off: No demand

SAFE TO PULL Showing condition whether a module can be unmounted or not.

Green: duplexing

System can work even if a module is pulled out.

Green blinking: Simplexing

System can not work if a module is pulled out.

Off: Some offline parts exist.

System can work even if a module is pulled out.

CPU (CPU part error LED)

Amber LED illuminates when a failure occurs in CPU of CPU/IO module.

Processor failure

CPU/IO module failure

DIMM failure

Replace CPU/IO module.

I/O (I/O part error LED)

Amber LED illuminates when a failure occurs in I/O of CPU/IO module.

CPU/IO module failure

PCI Board failure

Replace CPU/IO module.

VLT (Power error LED)

Amber LED illuminates when electric voltage failure occurs in CPU/IO module.

CPU/IO module failure

Power Supply Unit failure

Replace CPU/IO module.

MEM NUMBER (Memory slot error LED)

Amber LED illuminates when a failure occurs on the memory of CPU/IO module.

Four LEDs indicate DIMM Slot number.

Target DIMM failure

CPU/IO Module failure

Processor failure

Replace CPU/IO Module.

PSU (Power Supply Unit error LED) Amber LED illuminates when failure occurs on the power supply unit of CPU/IO module.

Processor failure

CPU/IO module failure

Replace CPU/IO module.

The LED turns on if DC power is not provided in spite of power on request.

TEMP (Abnormal temperature LED Amber LED illuminates when temperature in CPU/IO module becomes abnormal.

Cooling problem (Fan Failure)

Processor placement

Processor failure

CPU/IO Module failure

At first, confirm whether event log is registered by Temperature sensor.

Replace CPU/IO module.

There is a possibility of sensor failure.

FAN (FAN error LED) Amber LED illuminates when failure occurs on the cooling fan of CPU/IO module.

FAN failure

CPU/IO Module failure

At first, confirm whether event log is registered by FAN sensor.

Is fan working?

Is there a clog of module?

Replace CPU/IO module.

There is a possibility of sensor failure.
