PE 1850 and 2850 blue front LED dead ?

[John Hill]

The blue LED on the front of one of my PE1850s stopped working a long
time ago. I decided that as downtime on this server would be highly
unpopular and the blue LED on the rear panel was still working I would
not bother to get it fixed. I've seen no evidence since then that there
is any problem with this server - but of course that doesn't mean that
yours is OK.
Regards,
John Hill
