 er (UID) switch and two LED 

indicators are provided on the serverboard. 
The rear UID LED (LE4) is located next 
to the UID switch on the backplane. The 
front panel UID LED is on pins 7/8 of JF1. 
Connect a cable to pins 7/8 on JF1 for 
front panel UID indication. Pressing the 
UID switch will turn on both the rear and 
front UID LEDs. Pressing the UID switch 
again will turn off both LEDs. These UIDs 
provide easy identi

Note: 

the

 

UID can also be triggered via
