The flashing amber lights on the Dell servers typically indicate a hardware issue... Unless your box has a nice little LCD like the 26xx, or 29xx series, you'll probably have to run the Dell diagnostics. On my 2650s, they scroll the error code across the LCD.
A note aside... you have a failover box available in case this box dies... but you don't want to take the box down on purpose to boot the OM software? I'm confused... :-) Wouldn't you want a controlled "failure" of the primary hardware instead of a random failure where the failover process could get botched? Just my $0.02 USD ...
