Onboard Power LED

An Onboard Power LED is located at 
LE1 on the serverboard. When this 
LED is lit the system is on. Be sure 
to turn off the system and unplug the 
power cord before removing or install-
ing components. See the table at right 
for more information.

Dedicated IPMI LAN LEDs

A dedicated IPMI LAN is included on 
the I/O backpanel. The amber LED 
indicates activity, while the Link LED 
indicates the speed of the connec-
tion. See the tables at right for more 
information.
