System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the two control panels as well as others on the SATA drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of speciﬁc components. There are also two buttons on each control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take. Note that the server has two control panels, one for each serverboard installed in the system. This allows each serverboard to be controlled independently of the other.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

There are two push-buttons located on each control panel: a reset button and a power on/off button.

Reset

Depressing the reset button will reboot only the serverboard it is associated with.

Power

This is the main power button, which is used to apply or turn off the main system power only to the serverboard it is connected to. Depressing this button removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the serverboard.
