IBM HS12 - BladeCenter - 8028 Installation And User Manual Download

Page: 22 / 78

Notes:

The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for the
blade server to recognize and use the keyboard and mouse, even if the
keyboard and mouse have PS/2-style connectors.

If you install a supported Microsoft Windows operating system on the blade
server while it is not the current owner of the keyboard, video, and mouse, a
delay of up to 1 minute occurs the first time that you switch the keyboard,
video, and mouse to the blade server. All subsequent switching takes place in
the normal KVM switching time frame (up to 20 seconds).

Activity LED:

When this green LED is lit, it indicates that there is activity on the

hard disk drive or network.

Location LED:

The system administrator can remotely turn on this blue LED to aid

in visually locating the blade server. When this LED is lit, the location LED on the
BladeCenter unit is also lit. The location LED can be turned off through the
management-module Web interface at or through IBM

Director Console. For more

information about the management-module Web interface, see
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/management/. For more information about
IBM

Director, see the documentation on the IBM

Director CD that comes with

the server, or visit the IBM

Director Information Center at http://

diricinfoparent.html .

Information LED:

When this amber LED is lit, it indicates that information about a

system error in the blade server has been placed in the management-module event
log. The information LED can be turned off through the management-module Web
interface at or through IBM

Director Console. For more information about the

management-module Web interface, see http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/
management/. For more information about IBM

Director, see the documentation

on the IBM

Director CD that comes with the server, or visit the IBM

Director

Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r2/
topic/diricinfo_all/diricinfoparent.html .

Blade-error LED:

When this amber LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has

occurred in the blade server. The blade-error LED turns off only after the error is
corrected.

Media-tray select button:

Press this button to associate the shared BladeCenter

unit media tray (removable-media drives) with the blade server. The LED on the
button flashes while the request is being processed and then is lit when the
ownership of the media tray has been transferred to the blade server. It can take
approximately 20 seconds for the operating system in the blade server to recognize
the media tray.

If there is no response when you press the media-tray select button, you can use
the management-module Web interface to determine whether local control has
been disabled on the blade server.

Note:

The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for the

blade server to recognize and use the removable-media drives.

Power-control button:

This button is behind the control panel door. Press this

button to turn on or turn off the blade server.
