Front Display Panel, DVD, and Diagnostic Panel

The front display panel, DVD, and diagnostic panel are supported on a single board, called the display board, located in the front of the chassis. Service the display board from the top of the chassis.

The front display panel consists of the system status LEDs and a power switch. Use the front display panel to determine the power status of the server, monitor the server as it progresses through the boot cycle, and use the various LED states to assist with troubleshooting system problems.

A slimline DVD drive, or optional DVD+RW drive, is located above the hard disk drives in the horizontal orientation of the front panel.

There is a USB 2.0 port positioned between the DVD drive and the front display panel.

Each customer replaceable unit (CRU), with the exception of the power supplies, has a unique set of status indicators located on a diagnostic panel that you view through the top cover. CRUs include components such as individual memory DIMMs, processors, and fans. LEDs that correspond to each CRU illuminate when there is a problem.
