System Director Rear Panel
The following figure shows the rear panel of the System Director and the function of each
connection. The System Director comes with a Myricom dual-port 10 Gb network board
installed in the System Director. Also include is an SFP+ optical transceiver for the port.
B Halt or Non-maskable
interrupt (NMI) button The halt or NMI signal halts the processor, which effectively halts
the server. A NMI is the highest priority interrupt and cannot be
masked by software.
c
If the Halt/NMI button is pressed, the NMI signal locks
the system and the system must be restarted to clear the
interrupt.
C System reset button Performs a soft reset when pressed. Do not use this button unless
the system has had a fatal error and you need to restart. A soft
reset restarts the system; it clears all active program memory (you
lose unsaved work) and shuts down all active programs.
D Four green network activity
LEDs Illuminates green when a good network connection is established
and blinks when there is network activity on the four built-in
1-GB network ports.
The number beside the LED corresponds with the number beside
the network port on the rear of the enclosure. For example,
Connector 1 is LED 1 on the front, see
“System Director Rear
Panel” on page 17 .
E Red System error LED Illuminates red when an error is detected with the system (fan,
power supply, temperature, voltage).
F System Drive activity LED Indicates drive activity from the onboard SATA controller and
blinks when either of the system drives is being accessed.
G System ID button When pressed it illuminates (blinks) blue and also illuminates an
LED on the rear of the enclosure. The rear LED is also blue and is
visible on the lower left-hand side of the Ethernet ports inside of
the enclosure. It is used to identify a system for servicing when it
is installed in a high-density rack/cabinet populated with several
other similar systems.
H Power button Press to power on the enclosure. Power button illuminates green
when the power is on.
