UID LED/button Blue = Identification is activated.
Flashing blue = System is being managed remotely. Off = Identification is deactivated.
Health LED Green = System health is normal.
Amber = System health is degraded. To degraded state, see "HP Systems Insight Display and LEDs ("HP
Systems Insight Display LEDs" on page 13)".
Red = System state, see "HP Systems Insight Display and LEDs ("
Display LEDs" on page 13)".
Off = System health is normal (when in standby mode).
NIC 1 link/activity LED Green = Network link exists.
Flashing green = Network link and activity exist. Off = No link to network exists. If power is off, the front panel LED is not active. For status, view the RJ-45 connector LEDs.
