What does the system status LED look like when an over temperature or major alarm occurs on the Cisco UCS 6120XP Fabric Interconnect?

Steady amber on the UCS 6120XP indicates a minor alarm condition, not an over temperature or major alarm, which requires the blinking variant.

Red is not a defined system status LED color on the Cisco UCS 6120XP Fabric Interconnect for any alarm condition.

Blinking amber is the specifically defined LED behavior on the Cisco UCS 6120XP Fabric Interconnect for over temperature conditions and major alarms. The distinction between steady and blinking amber is significant - steady amber signals a minor alarm, while blinking amber indicates a more critical fault such as a thermal threshold violation. Recognizing this pattern is essential for rapid identification of hardware faults requiring immediate attention.

Blinking red is not a valid system status LED state on the UCS 6120XP; the platform uses amber-based states to represent all alarm severities.
