NOTE: The Unit Identifier (UID)/Locator LED has not been included in Table 5-2, because it is not used directly for troubleshooting rx3600 servers. However, indirectly, it can provide system information; for example, when it is blue, the BMC is working.

The INIT Button, a momentary switch with pinhole access, used to cause a system INIT or Transfer of Control (TOC), is not discussed in the following tables either. It is similar to a system reset, preserving the entire memory image, so that you can obtain a crash dump and receive OS error information. This button can be used to recover a hung system, and to obtain information useful for debugging -- it is less harsh than a power reset.

NOTE: In Table 5-2, LED states indicating error conditions are provided in bold, italic, uppercase (for example, “FLASHING AMBER”).

Table 5-2lists the front panel LED states.
