Chapter 3 

System Interface

3-1 Overview

The control panel on the 7046A-3/7046A-T has several LEDs and two buttons. 

There are also two LEDs on each hard drive carrier. These LEDs keep you con-

stantly informed of the overall status of the system and the activity and health of 

specifi c components.

3-2  Control Panel Buttons

There are two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis: a power on/off 

button and a reset button.

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.

Reset

Use the reset button to reboot the system.
