Hello, guys.
As we know, there are many indicators on the server panel, such as the power indicator, UID indicator, and health status indicator.
During routine maintenance, the colors of indicators can be used to determine whether the device is running properly.
Today, I'd like to share with you what are the common indicators of Huawei servers? What do indicators of different colors mean?
Front Panel indicator
Table 1 Front Indicator status Description
No. | Silkscreen | Indicator/Button | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
1 |  | LOM port connection status indicator | Each indicator shows the connection status of an Ethernet LOM port. ●Off: The network port is not in use or has failed. ●Steady green: The network port is properly connected. |
2 |  | Fault diagnosis LED | ●---: The device is operating normally. ●Fault code: A component is faulty. |
| 3 |  | Health status indicator | ●Off: The device is powered off or is faulty. ●Blinking red at 1 Hz: A major alarm has been generated on the system. ●Blinking red at 5 Hz: A critical alarm has been generated on the system. ●Steady green: The device is operating properly. |
| 4 |  | UID button/indicator | The UID button/indicator helps identify and locate a device. UID indicator: ●Off: The device is not being located. ●Blinking or steady blue: The device is being located. |
5 |  | Power button/indicator | Power indicator: ●Off: The device is not powered on. ●Steady green: The device is powered on. ●Blinking yellow: The iBMC is starting. The power button is locked and cannot be pressed. The iBMC is started in about 1 minute, and then the power indicator is steady yellow. ●Steady yellow: The device is standby. |
If the Fault diagnosis LED displays the fault code, you can do the steps as the iBMC Alarm Handling.
