3-3  Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC512F-520B chassis has 

fi

 ve 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.

NIC2

Indicates network activity on LAN2 when 

fl

 ashing.

Overheat/Fan Fail

When this LED 

fl

 ashes it indicates a fan failure. When on continuously (on and 

not 

fl

 ashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables 

obstructing the air

fl

 ow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too 

warm. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and 
operating normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers 
are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed properly (see Chapter 
5). This LED will remain 

fl

 ashing or on as long as the overheat condition exists.  

NIC1

Indicates network activity on LAN1 when 

fl

 ashing.
