Use this procedure to verify that the lights on the server control panel and the display panel on all attached I/O expansion units are operating correctly.

For important safety information before continuing with this procedure, see Power isolation procedures.

Refer to System FRU locations for instructions for removing and replacing any FRUs called out by the following procedure.

  1. Activate the lamp test by performing one of the following:
    • Select function 04 lamp test on the control panel and press Enter.
    • Sign on to ASMI and click System Configuration -> Service Indicators -> Lamp Test.
  2. Look at the server control panel and the display panels on all attached I/O towers. The lamp test is active only for 25 seconds after you press Enter. Check the following lights on the server control panel and all I/O enclosures and towers:
    • Power-on light.
    • Attention light.
    • All dots for the 32 character display.
    Are all the lights on the control panel and the I/O display panels on?
    • No: Go to step 4.
    • Yes: These control panel lights are working correctly. Continue with the next step.
  3. Are any abnormal characters or character patterns (not reference codes or normal display mode) displayed?
    • No: The lights are operating correctly.

      This ends the procedure.

    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
  4. Verify that all cables are seated correctly. If the problem persists, replace the control panel. If the problem still persists, use the following table to determine the possible causes for the lamp test failure:
