Chapter 3

System Interface

3-1 Overview

The front control panel provides LEDs and buttons for the system. These LEDs

provide constant information on the system and on the overall health of system

components. There are additional LEDs on each of the drive carriers. This chapter

explains the meanings of the LED indicators and the appropriate responses that

may need to be taken.
