010-151 · Question #118

Refer to the exhibit. Which two faults can occur if the System Health LED is in a steady amber state? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is B. Major fault with CPU E. Major fault with memory DIMM. A steady amber System Health LED on a Cisco UCS server indicates a major hardware fault condition, specifically triggered by a major CPU fault or a major memory DIMM fault.

Why each option

A steady amber System Health LED on a Cisco UCS server indicates a major hardware fault condition, specifically triggered by a major CPU fault or a major memory DIMM fault.

AAt least one DIMM is faulty.

A faulty DIMM that does not reach major fault severity typically produces a blinking amber LED rather than a steady amber System Health LED, since steady amber is reserved specifically for major fault conditions.

BMajor fault with CPUCorrect

A major fault with the CPU is a defined condition that drives the System Health LED to a steady amber state on Cisco UCS servers, signaling a critical hardware event that requires immediate service attention. This steady amber state is distinct from a blinking amber, which indicates a minor or less severe fault condition.

CMajor fault with the system board

A major fault with the system board is surfaced through a different indicator or fault mechanism on Cisco UCS servers and does not correspond to the steady amber System Health LED condition described.

DCPU mismatch

A CPU mismatch is a configuration incompatibility warning rather than a major hardware fault, and therefore does not trigger the steady amber System Health LED state.

EMajor fault with memory DIMMCorrect

A major fault with a memory DIMM is another condition that produces a steady amber System Health LED on Cisco UCS servers. This severity is classified as major because it threatens system stability and operation, distinguishing it from a minor DIMM issue that would produce only a blinking amber LED state.
