System LCD

The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is located on the left side of the front panel as part of the power switch/LCD assembly. The LCD lights when the workstation power is on. The LCD has a 2-line display, with up to 16-characters per line. It displays messages about the state of the system, which are called chassis codes. See the section titled “Selftest Failures” on page 53 in Chapter 3 for a complete listing of the possible chassis codes which can be displayed on the LCD.

The following symbols appear on the LCD, representing different system activities.
