Chapter 3

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SAS/SATA

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 but-

tons on the chassis control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED

indicators 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: a reset button and

a power on/off button.

Reset

Use the reset button to reboot the system.

Power

The main power button 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.
