Use the LEDs on the individual system components to determine
if the system is operating normally. We recommend you monitor the LEDs routinely
on the SSCs, Power Supply Units, and server blades.
The LEDs can be off, on, or in some cases blinking slowly or
flashing. When the fault LED is on (lit), this indicates that a fault has
occurred in the component. A fault is any condition that is considered to
be unacceptable for normal operation. When the fault LED is lit, you must
take immediate action to clear the fault.
You can only remove a hot-swappable component when the blue
OK/ready to Remove LED is lit.

Caution: When you remove a PSU, the white Locator LED
on the chassis's front and back panels starts to flash. This is to alert you
to insert a new PSU within 10 minutes of removing the old one, otherwise there
is a danger that the server blades in the chassis will overheat. When you
have inserted the new PSU, the Locator LED will stop flashing.
