System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SCSI 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 the chassis control panel and an on/off switch on the power supply.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

There are three push-button buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are (in order from left to right) a reset button, an MNI (non-maskable interface) button and a power on/off button.

lRESET: Use the reset button to reboot the system.

lNMI: NMI stands for "non-maskable interrupt". Pressing this button issues a non-maskable interrupt to force the server into a halt state. This is used for diagnostic purposes, and allows you to perform a memory down- load to determine the cause of a problem.
