Led light showing red

[Meiling Untch]

I have a Proliant ML350 G4 server running on Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server.
Currently, the 4th LED from the right on the front panel is showing red. The Integrity Management Log Viewer reported overheating on Labour Day and has a repaired status but the system is up and running without problems.

I plan to reboot the server. Is there anything else I should check or do? Please advise.

Thank you very much.

Is the IML showing which area is showing as overheating? If the agents are installed, you should be able to go to the system management homepage and under the environment area you'll see the various temps inside the server.

It says zone 2,location CPU, temperature 82C

That seems a bit hot. If it reaches 99 it will probably reboot unless you disabled it. Are all your fans working? Is the server kept in an air conditioned room?

I recently had three G4 servers where the IML reported CPU overheating, fortunately the processors were fine but required a heatsink replacement. I believe the problem was due to the temp pad not spreading evenly.

Once we replaced the heatsinks, the problem went away.

The air-conditioner in the server room has broken down. After I rebooted the server this morning, the led is currently showing green.

Thank you all for your help.
