有一台非常老舊的IBM x345,前面面板出現了硬體故障的橘燈,但這台伺服器的面板沒有其他資訊,就只燈號可以看。
檢查了外觀,硬碟都正常,沒其他亮橘燈的地方,就查不到橘燈是什麼地方異常造成的。
查看原廠文件,有說明主機板上會有其他硬體的燈號,有問題的就會亮橘燈。
所以就關閉系統,但接著電腦線,將上蓋打開,果然看到記憶體插槽上有亮橘燈,終於找到問題。
更妙的時打開上蓋後,發現有一個小面板藏在裡面,上面就有顯示哪個硬體故障,實在想不通為何要把這個面板藏在裡面。
回去查原廠文件,裡面還真的有寫到這個診斷面板是在伺服器裡面。
There is an old IBM x345 server that has a hardware failure indicated by an amber light on the front panel. However, the server's panel does not provide any additional information, only the indicator light is visible.
Upon inspecting the physical appearance, the hard drives appear to be functioning properly, and there are no other areas with illuminated amber lights, making it difficult to determine the source of the issue.
Referring to the manufacturer's documentation, it mentions that there are other hardware indicator lights on the motherboard, which would illuminate if there were any problems.
Therefore, shut down the system, and the computer cables were connected. Upon opening the server's cover, it was discovered that there was indeed an illuminated amber light on one of the memory slots, finally identifying the problem.
Interestingly, upon opening the cover, a small panel was found hidden inside, displaying the specific hardware component that was experiencing the failure. It is weird why this panel was concealed inside the server.
Upon revisiting the manufacturer's documentation, it was confirmed that this diagnostic panel is indeed located inside the server.
