Servers Poweredge Flashing Yellow Light

For Poweredge, you need to login server manager and run diagnostic. You can also check Even viewer for error log. It would be helpful if you can let us know the result afterward. Also, which light is flashing yellow? If it is at the network interface, you are connecting to a slow connection 10Mbp. You need to be more detail on the problem so we can better understand it.

The flashing yellow light is in front of the computer and has a picture of a little fan. Does this mean its out?

For the Poweredge, everytime you notice the fan is running in high speed (making loud noise), the server's temperature is flagging. Need more cool air!

Open Dell OpenManage Server Administrator and check under "Main System Chassis".  Look for something that doesn't have a check next to it.  If there was a critical error it has to be acknoleged before the flashing light will go away, even if the error has resolved itself (like heat).

You can use it to extract the ESM (Electronic Server Management) logs from the system. Search through the logs for ERROR conditions - these will tell you exactly what is causing the yellow error LED.

Excellent. Thanks.
