Chapter 3: System Interface

3-1

Chapter 3

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SCSI drive

carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well

as the activity and health of speciﬁ c components. There are also two buttons on

the chassis control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indica-

tors and the appropriate response you may need to take.

3-2 Control

Panel

Buttons

There are two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are (in

order from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button.

Reset:

Use the reset switch to reboot the system.

Power:

The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the

power supply to the server system. Turning off system power with this button

removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.
