What is the purpose of the UID? |
| A2. |
The Unit Identification light (UID) is a feature of all DL servers that allows the user to distinguish which server they are working on in the rack. The UID can be lit from the Insight Manager console, as well as at the server by pressing either the front or rear UID button. Once lit, the LED will be blue to help the user identify the unit.

| Q3. |
What are the system health LEDs used for? What do the different colors mean (green, red, amber)? |
| A3. |
The front panel LEDs are used to help diagnose a server failure. When an internal component fails, the indication is made on the front panel. If the item is serviceable by removing the hood, as in the case of a fan failure, the Internal Health LED will illuminate.
If no failures have occurred, the system health LEDs will be green. If a failure has occurred, but a redundant feature has enabled the system to continue running, the LED will be amber. If the failure is critical and is/has caused the system to shutdown, the LED will be red. These LEDs serve as local indicators for several failure conditions. Insight Manager will continue to report these, and many other failure conditions, as well. The front panel LEDs are used to help diagnose a server failure. When an internal component fails, the indication is made on the front panel. If the item is serviceable by removing the hood, as in the case of a fan failure, the Internal Health LED will illuminate.
