Hi hopefully someone here can advise me. Yesterday I plugged in our external USB backup drive as I have done 100s of times before and I instantly got a blue screen error. I restarted the server and there was an amber blinking warning light on the front.
The bootup process was halted by a keyboard error so I changed the USB ports around and then the server booted up absolutely fine but there is still an amber blinking warning light on the front of server. I looked up the what this light means in the manual and it says:-
‘The amber system status indicator flashes when the system needs attention due to a problem with power supplies, fans, system temperature, or SCSI hard drives.
NOTE: If the system is connected to AC power and an error has been detected, the amber system status indicator flashes regardless of whether the system has been powered on.’
I ran Dell Openmanage Server administrator and found the following error in the log which matches the date and time of the blue screen error and amber blinking light:-
‘Wed Jan 23 12:07:06 2013 System Event - PCIE Fatal Err (Bus 0, Device 4, Function 0)
Can anyone advise me how to find out what device this error refers to and how to go about resolving it.
Thanks
