LCD panel

The LCD panel of your system provides system information, status, and error messages to indicate if the system is functioning correctly or if the system needs attention. For more information about error messages, see the Dell Event and Error Messages Reference Guide at Dell.com/openmanagemanuals >OpenManage software.
• The LCD backlight turns blue during normal operating conditions.
• When the system needs attention, the LCD turns amber, and displays an error code followed by descriptive text.
NOTE:
If the system is connected to a power source and an error is detected, the LCD turns amber regardless of
whether the system is turned on or off.
• The LCD backlight is turned off when the system is in standby mode and can be turned on by pressing either the Select, Left, or Right button on the LCD panel.
• The LCD backlight remains off if LCD messaging is turned off using the iDRAC utility, the LCD panel, or other tools.

Internal dual SD module indicator codes

The Internal Dual SD module (IDSDM) provides you with a redundant SD card solution. You can configure the IDSDM for storage or as the OS boot partition. The IDSDM card offers the following features:
• Dual card operation — maintains a mirrored configuration by using SD cards in both the slots and provides redundancy.
NOTE:
When the Redundancy option is set to Mirror Mode in the Integrated Devices screen of System Setup, the
information is replicated from one SD card to another.
• Single card operation — single card operation is supported, but without redundancy.
The following table describes the IDSDM indicator codes:
Table 9. IDSDM indicator codes
Convention IDSDM indicator code Description
A Green Indicates that the card is online.
B Flashing green Indicates rebuild or activity.
C Flashing amber Indicates card mismatch or that the card has failed.
D Amber Indicates that the card is offline, has failed, or is write-protected.
E Not lit Indicates that the card is missing or is booting.

Indicator codes for redundant power supply unit

Each AC power supply unit (PSU) has an illuminated translucent handle that indicates whether power is present or whether a power fault has occurred.
Figure 9. AC PSU status indicator
1. AC PSU status indicator or handle
Table 10. Redundant AC PSU status indicator
Convention Power Indicator
Pattern
A Green A valid power source is connected to the PSU and the PSU is operational.
B Flashing green When the PSU firmware is being updated, the PSU handle flashes green.
C Flashing green and
turns off
D Flashing amber Indicates a problem in the PSU.
Condition
CAUTION: Do not disconnect the power cord or unplug the PSU when
updating firmware. If firmware update is interrupted, the PSUs will not function. You must roll back the PSU firmware by using Dell Lifecycle Controller. For more information, see Dell Lifecycle Controller User’s Guide at Dell.com/idracmanuals.
When hot-adding a PSU, the PSU handle flashes green five times at 4 Hz rate and turns off. This indicates that there is a PSU mismatch with respect to efficiency, feature set, health status, and supported voltage.
CAUTION: For AC PSUs, use only PSUs with the Extended Power
Performance (EPP) label on the back.
NOTE: Ensure that both the PSUs are of the same capacity.
NOTE: Mixing PSUs from previous generations of Dell PowerEdge servers
can result in a PSU mismatch condition or failure to turn the system on.
CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the PSU with the
flashing indicator. Swapping the other PSU to make a matched pair can result in an error condition and unexpected system shutdown. To change from a High Output configuration to a Low Output configuration or vice versa, you must turn off the system.
22 About the Dell PowerEdge T330 system
CAUTION: AC PSUs support both 220 V and 110 V input voltages with the
exception of Titanium PSUs, which support only 220 V. When two identical PSUs receive different input voltages, they can output different wattages, and trigger a mismatch.
Table 10. Redundant AC PSU status indicator (continued)
Convention Power Indicator
Pattern
E Not lit Power is not connected.
Condition
CAUTION: If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same type and have the
same maximum output power.
CAUTION: Combining AC and DC PSUs is not supported and triggers a
mismatch.

Non-redundant cabled power supply unit indicator codes

Press the self-diagnostic button to perform a quick health check on the non-redundant cabled power supply unit (PSU) of the system.

Not lit Power is not connected or PSU is faulty.
Green A valid power source is connected to the PSU and the PSU is operational.

Locating service tag of your system

Your system is identified by a unique Express Service Code and Service Tag number. The Express Service Code is and Service Tag are found on the front of the system by pulling out the information tag. Alternatively, the information may be on a sticker on the chassis of the system. This information is used by Dell to route support calls to the appropriate personnel.
