flashing, check the light path diagnostics LEDs (see “Light path diagnostics”
on page 101).
Note: When you slide the light path diagnostics panel out of the server to
check the LEDs or checkpoint codes, do not run the server continuously
with light path diagnostics panel outside of the server. The panel should only
be outside of the server a short time. The light path diagnostics panel must
remain in the server when the server is running to ensure proper cooling.
