•Off—There is no hard drive in the hard drive tray (no access, no fault).
•Green—The hard drive is ready.
•Green, blinking—The hard drive is reading or writing data.
Drive activity2
•Off—The power supply is operating properly.
•Amber, blinking—An event warning threshold has been reached, but the
power supply continues to operate.
•Amber—A critical fault threshold has been reached, causing the power
supply to shut down.
Power supply fault LED3
•Green—The power supply is operating properly and supplying DC power
to the system.
•Green, blinking—The power supply is off and it is in cold redundancy
mode.

•Off—There is no AC power to the system.
•Amber—The system is in standby power mode.
•Green—The system is in main power mode. Power is supplied to all
components.
Unit status LED6
•Off—No link or no QSFP.
•Green—Link established.
•Green + amber, blinking—Green indicates that the link is established and
amber indicates activity on the link.
If amber is off, the established link has no activity or activity is below the
minimum threshold.
Amber blinks at three different rates to indicate the traffic rate (slow,
medium, or fast).
When using 4x10G breakout cables, any one link of the four activates
the LEDs in the manner described. Additional links are not
differentiated.

Preparing for System Component Replacement
This section describes how to prepare for component replacement, and it includes the following topics:
Required Equipment
The following equipment is used to perform the procedures in this section:
•Number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver
Powering Off the System
You can invoke a graceful shutdown.
Procedure
Step 1 Press and release the front-panel power button.

Maintenance
Preparing for System Component Replacement
The chassis shuts down to standby power state, indicated when the power LED turns amber.
Step 2 Disconnect the power cords from all power supplies in your system to completely remove AC power from
the system.
To completely remove all power from the system, you must disconnect all power cords from all
power supplies.
Caution
Powering On the System
When you plug power cords into the power supplies and connect to power, the system powers on to standby
power mode. The front panel power button/LED lights amber. Power is supplied only to the server node
service processor and the cooling fans.
Press and release the power button to boot the system to main power mode, which is indicated when the power
button/LED lights green.
Chassis Cover Removal
This system has a single top cover. Opening this cover gives access to the internal compartment that includes
the fan modules.

Replaceable Components Overview
Cisco UCS M142 Compute Cartridge Replacement
This section describes how to replace a compute cartridge.
This system supports up to eight single-wide compute cartridges or up to four double-wide cartridges. You
can mix single-wide and double-wide cartridges in the same chassis, but a double-wide cartridge cannot install
into two slots that straddle the center chassis divider.
