Unknown indicator on front of Dell PowerEdge R515

Question

What is the small heartbeat/heart monitor indicator on the front of a PowerEdge R515 (12 disk bay model)? We've scoured all the Dell documentation and can find no mention of it for the R515. On our UK R515, it's blue. On our USA R515 it's a worrying steady red. It looks like this:

Only reference we've found is for older Dell systems and it indicates a problem with the RAID configuration.

Answer 1

If's its a LEFD I'd say its just an indicator on the front. IF its a headphone like jack I'd say it for a remote notification LED

Answer 2

I think Dell tends to use that symbol to identify hardware status. I don't have that particular poweredge, but on our systems, that symbol is on the individual drive bays for the drive status (amber if the drive has failed) and on the hot-swappable power supplies. None of our systems have a light like that for the entire system itself, though. All of our 1xxx and 2xxx ones just blink the (i) LED amber or the LCD panel amber when it wants to complain about RAM or CPU faults.

If it's running, you'll probably need to use dell's openmanage tools to get the fault information.
