This section describes the front and rear panel LEDs on HPE Alletra and Edge Accelerator platforms running Qumulo Core.

This section provides an overview of the panel LED indicators on HPE Alletra and Edge Accelerator platforms. For detailed LED descriptions specific to each server model, refer to the HPE documentation.

LED Overview

HPE servers include LED indicators for:

  • Power status - Indicates server power state
  • System health - Indicates overall server health and fault conditions
  • Drive activity and status - Indicates drive operations and failures
  • Network link and activity - Indicates network connectivity
  • UID (Unit Identification) - Helps identify a specific server in a rack

Using LEDs for Troubleshooting

When troubleshooting hardware issues:

  1. Check the System Health LED first for an overall status.
  2. If amber or red, check iLO for detailed fault information.
  3. For drive issues, locate the specific drive bay using the Drive Status LEDs.
  4. Use the UID LED to identify the physical server in a rack.
  5. For power issues, check the Power Supply LEDs on the rear panel.
