amber when the system needs attention,

 

 

 

and the LCD panel displays an error

 

 

 

code followed by descriptive text.

AC power and an error has been

regardless of whether the system

 

 

 

has been powered on.

 

 

 

NOTE: Systems with cabled hard drives

 

 

 

support an LED panel instead of an

 

 

 

LCD panel. The LED panel has four

 

 

 

diagnostic indicator lights that display

 

 

 

error codes during system startup.

the LCD panel on the front and the blue

 

 

 

system status indicator on the back blink

 

 

 

until one of the buttons is pushed again.
