Then you need to get into the BIOS of the PERC RAID controller and inspect the state of the physical/logical volumes. Reboot the machine and watch for the prompt after the PERC5/6 RAID controller loads it's BIOS.
Considering this a null issue given the age, though...
Orange blinking light means a component failure. I had a cooling fan failure and this caused the orange light. When there is a failed fan the other fans RPM is increased to compensate. Is the server fan noise excessive?
Check your power supply or the power supply source (outlet or UPS unit) as well as the power cord. Your system power source is not at the correct amp, voltage and may need replacing.
Hi,
these servers are single power supply when that goes you only get a blinking orange light and no beeps.
most other issues will beep code.
I would start there. you can remove and reinstall. but it is probably bad

hope this helps
hi,
I have several of these and most often there power supplies blow. since they come by default with only one powser supply. the system won't start
I would start there as most other problems will generate beeps.
Hello
This error mostly comes with the failure of processor fan, overheating of processor shuts down the system due to processor's protection. You need to check the fans and replacement is recommended.
Hope this helps
That's just a system indicator flash. Solid blue means on and normal, blinking means someone either turned on the system indicator in the management software or bumped the indicator switch on the back of the server. This was designed to make easier transitions from back to front when working with multiple servers in a rack. To turn the indicator off, just go to the back of the server and find the Ethernet and usb ports that are together. If the usb is the bottom and Ethernet port is the top then just to the right you should see a small blue blinking light and a button, pushing the button wil turn the blinking off.
Again, no worries this is just a "locator beacon" not an error message, if the light ever blinks yellow then you have an issue.
It sounds like a hard disk has failed or fallen out of sync.
This can be a serious problem if not addressed ASAP.
Call Dell, they have lifetime phone support for their servers.
Write down the Express Service Code and Service Tag number that is on the server chassis before you call. This is the last number I used for server support: (800) 945-3355 If it doesn't work you should be able to find a valid number at support.dell.com
