Diagnostics
The LCD panel helps you to diagnose problems with any server or module in
the chassis. If there is a problem or fault with the chassis or any server or other
module in the chassis, the LCD panel status indicator blinks amber. On the
Main Menu an icon with an amber background displays next to the menu
item—Server or Enclosure—that leads to the faulty server or module.
By following the amber icons down through the LCD menu system, you can
display the status screen and error messages for the item that has the
problem.
Error messages on the LCD panel can be removed by removing the module or
server that is the cause of the problem or for server errors, use the iDRAC
Web interface or command line interface to clear the server’s System Event
Log (SEL) to remove the server errors form the LCD.
Using the LCD Panel Interface
You can use the LCD panel to perform configuration and diagnostics, and to
obtain status information about the chassis and its contents.
