2. To view the advanced operator information panel, press the blue latch on the right of the operator panel. Lit LEDs on this panel indicate the type of error that has occurred. System x3530 M4 Type 7160: Installation and Service Guide...
Look at the system service label inside the server cover, which gives an overview of internal components that correspond to the LEDs on the light path diagnostics panel. This information and the information in “Light path diagnostics LEDs” on page 109 can often provide enough information to diagnose the error.

Remind button: This button places the system-error/Check Log LED on the front panel into Remind mode. In Remind mode, the system-error LED flashes once every 2 seconds until the problem is corrected, the server is restarted, or a new problem occurs.

If POST detects a problem, an error message is sent to the POST event log, see “Event logs” on page 115 for more information. IBM Dynamic System Analysis IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing server problems. DSA collects the following information about the server:...
