[olug] HP dl360 g6 amber interlock light

[Rob Townley]

ReFinding led status codes on HP.com makes me envious of service tag ease
on dell.com.  I did see a reference for led status lights, but for a g3.

There are no amber lights on the MB that I have seen.  There are green
lights on the MB near the PCI riser, so "conveniently" located underneath
the SAS controller and multiport GB nic cards.  Will remove them yet again.

Peering down into a pinhole on one of the cards, i believe about 4 LEDs
flash, but only two remain, almost alternating as to when they blink
green.  Have to have cover off to see them, but in general, "interlock"
warnings could be triggered by having the cover removed.  However, I could
not find any type of safety switch activated by removal of cover nor shroud
either by inspection or google.

FYI, noticed in a few forums that these machines have to have the riser
plugged-in even if empty.
