Power-cord connector (ac power supply only): Connect the power cord to this connector.

Attention: In a dc power environment, only trained service personnel other than Lenovo service technicians are authorized to connect or disconnect power to the dc power supply. See the documentation that comes with each dc power supply.

AC power LED: Each hot-swap power supply has an ac power LED and a dc power LED. When the ac power LED is lit, it indicates that sufficient power is coming into the power supply through the power cord. During typical operation, both the ac and dc power LEDs are lit. For any other combination of LEDs, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual on the ThinkServer Documentation DVD.

DC power LED: Each hot-swap power supply has a dc power LED and an ac power LED. When the dc power LED is lit, it indicates that the power supply is supplying adequate dc power to the system. During typical operation, both the ac and dc power LEDs are lit. For any other combination of LEDs, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual on the ThinkServer Documentation DVD.

Systems-management Ethernet connector: Use this connector to connect the server to a network for systems-management information control. This connector is active only if you have installed a Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, and it is used only by the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine.

Ethernet activity LEDs: When these LEDs are lit, they indicate that the server is transmitting to or receiving signals from the Ethernet LAN that is connected to the Ethernet port.

Ethernet link LEDs: When these LEDs are lit, they indicate that there is an active link connection on the 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-TX interface for the Ethernet port.

Ethernet connectors: Use either of these connectors to connect the server to a network.

USB connectors: Connect a USB device, such as USB mouse, keyboard, or other USB device, to any of these connectors.

Video connector: Connect a monitor to this connector. The video connectors on the front and rear of the server can be used simultaneously.

System-error LED: When this LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred. An LED on the diagnostics panel is also lit to help isolate the error.

System-locator LED: Use this LED to visually locate the server among other servers.

Power-on LED: When this LED is lit and not flashing, it indicates that the server is turned on. When this LED is flashing, it indicates that the server is turned off and still connected to a power source. When this LED is off, it indicates that power is not present, or the power supply or the LED itself has failed.
