poweredge 2650 lcd panel blinking for sale

The fans sping up like jet engines upon powering up the server. In about 10 seconds or so, they slow down to normal idle. The power switch button on the front is blinking green, and the LCD display on the front/blue LED at the rear, also blink. Just on and off, with no discernable pattern.

This document describes the significance of system indicator light color and messages that can appear on the front liquid crystal display (LCD) panel of a Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA), Web Security Appliance (WSA), or Security Management Appliance (SMA).

Prior to the X80 appliances, the 2 RU size chassis that were manufactured for the ESA, WSA, and SMA were built on Dell"s 2650-series and 2950-series chassis.

As a result, the messages that can appear in the front panel display are documented at Dell"s web site in the PowerEdge 2650 Systems Installation and Troubleshooting Guide and PowerEdge 2950 Hardware Owner"s Manual.

If the system indicator light on your appliance blinks blue this is not a problem. This is only used for system identification. The idea behind system identification is that you might have several security appliances in a rack and they all look the same. If you want to find a particular appliance in a rack you press the identification button, which is the small button on the back labeled with the letter "i" in a circle. If you press the identification button, the system indicator in the front blinks blue and the identification LED in the back blinks blue. When you are finished, press the identification button one more time and the light stops blinking blue.

Behind the bezel of your appliance (except on C1x0 and S1x0 Series appliances) there is a small LCD panel that displays additional error information. Tilt the bezel downward (no tools required) and copy the error code that appears on the display. Then, contact Cisco Customer Support in order to resolve the issue.

In general, any error message that appears in the front panel display of an appliance is indicative of a serious hardware problem that requires immediate remediation. The only exception to this are the E0876/POWER PS or the E0880/INSUFFICIENT PS error messages. While these can indicate a defective power supply, they can also be caused by a power supply that is unplugged or has been pulled out of the system chassis. Before you swap a system with these error messages, you should verify that the power supplies are firmly seated and that both power cords are plugged into working outlets.
