LED Status Description
Status Green All diagnostics pass. The module is operational
(normal initialization sequence).
Orange One of the following occurs or occurred:
• The module is booting or running diagnostics
(normal initialization sequence).
• The inlet air temperature of the system has
exceeded the maximum system operating
temperature limit (a minor environmental
warning). To ensure maximum product life, you
should immediately correct the environmental
temperature and restore the system to normal
operation.
Red One of the following occurs or occurred:
• The diagnostic test failed. The module is not
operational because a fault occurred during the
initialization sequence.
• The inlet air temperature of the system has
exceeded the safe operating temperature limits of
the card (a major environmental warning). The
card has been shut down to prevent permanent
damage.
