Alert Messages

The system indicators and features are illustrated in this section. This section also describes each type of message, and lists the possible causes and actions you can take to resolve any problems indicated by a message.

System-Status Indicators

The system's bezel has an indictor that can represent system status when the bezel is installed (see Figure 3-1). The indicator signifies when the system is operating properly or when the system needs attention. The back-panel indicator functions the same as the bezel indicator. The back-panel indicator connector allows an indicator to be attached that will also function the same as the bezel indicator (see Figure 3-3).

A caution code signifies a problem with microprocessors, power supply, system or power-supply fans, system temperature, hard drives, system memory, expansion cards, or integrated SCSI controller.

Table 3-1 lists the system's status indicator codes.

System Identification Indicators

The identification buttons on the front and back panels can be used to identify a particular system within a rack. See Figure 3-2 to locate the front-panel system identification button. See Figure 3-3 to locate the back-panel system identification button and indicator.

When either of the identification buttons is pushed, the identification indicator on the back blinks until one of the buttons is pushed again. If the bezel is installed, the system status indicator will also blink. If an indicator is connected to the back-panel system status indicator connector, that indicator will also blink.

Systems management software can also be used to cause the status and identification indicators to blink to identify a particular system. For more information, see the systems management software documentation.
