How to Isolate Faults Using LEDs

While not a deep, formal diagnostic tool, LEDs located on the chassis and on
selected system components can serve as front-line indicators of a limited set of
hardware failures.

Before You Begin

You can view LED status by direct inspection of the system’s front or back panels.

Note –

Most LEDs available on the front panel are also duplicated on the back

panel.

You can also view LED status remotely using RSC and Sun Management Center
software, if you set up these tools ahead of time. For details on setting up RSC and
Sun Management Center software, see:
