Chapter 3: System Interface

3-1

Chapter 3

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the Serial ATA

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. These are (in order

from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button.

Reset

The reset button reboots the system.

Power

This is the main power button, which is used to apply or turn off the main system

power. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but keeps

standby power supplied to the system.
