Diagnostic LEDs: DLED1/DLED2/DLED3/DLED4
Memory LEDs:D29/D30/D31/D32/D33/D35
Component LEDs and four Diagnostic LEDs are integrated onboard, helping users diagnose their systems. When POST or Service Processor detects an error, the corresponding LEDs light up to alert users to the condition and help service personnel identify the failing component. A system status LED on the front panel of the system first alerts users that an error has occurred. Service personnel next check in­side the system to see which LED glows. This helps the service personnel to locate the failing component for replacement. The full failing path remians lit until POST no longer exists or the error is fixed. The four Diagnostic LEDs can detect all problems that fail the system, such as VGA, RAM or other failures, and provide up to 16 combinations of signals to debug the system. Please refer to the following table for signal description.

MSI Special Features
PC Alert™ III
The PC AlertTM III is a utility you can find in the CD-ROM disk. The utility is just like your PC doctor that can detect the following PC hardware status during real time operation:
Ø monitor CPU & system temperatures Ø monitor fan speed(s) Ø monitor system voltage Ø monitor chassis intrusion
If one of the items above is abnormal, the program main screen will be immediately shown on the screen, with the abnormal item highlighted in red. This will continue to be shown until user disables the warning.
Getting Started
MSI Reminds You...
1. Items shown on PC Alert™ III vary depending on your system status.
2. The mainboard bound with MS-9569 BMC card (Server Manage­ment Features) won’t support PC Alert™ III.
