LCD Panel Features (Optional) NOTE: This section is applicable only to eight–hard-drive systems.
The system's LCD panel provides system information and status and error
messages to signify when the system is operating correctly or when the system
needs attention. See "LCD Status Messages (Optional)" on page 27 for
information on specific status codes.
The LCD backlight lights blue during normal operating conditions and lights
amber to indicate an error condition. When the system is in standby mode,
the LCD backlight switches off after five minutes of inactivity, and can be
turned on by pressing the Select button on the LCD panel. The LCD
backlight remains off if LCD messaging is turned off through the BMC or
iDRAC6 utility, the LCD panel, or other tools.
