Chapter 3 

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are four LEDs on the control panel to keep you constantly informed of the 

overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specifi c components. 

The control panel also is where to fi nd the main power on/off button. 

3-2  Control Panel Button

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. Therefore, you must 

unplug system before servicing.

3-3  Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC731i-300B chassis has four LEDs.  

These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the 

system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any 

corrective action you may need to take.

HDD

This LED indicates SATA drive and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when fl ashing.
