Power-on LED: When this LED is lit and not flashing, it indicates that the server is turned on. When this LED is flashing, it indicates that the server is turned off and still connected to an ac power source. When this LED is off, it indicates that ac power is not present, or the power supply or the LED itself has failed.

Note: If this LED is off, it does not mean that there is no electrical power in the server. The LED might be burned out. To remove all electrical power from the server, you must disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Power-control button: Press this button to turn the server on and off manually. A power-control-button shield comes installed around the button to prevent the server from being turned off accidentally. You can remove this disk-shaped shield if you prefer.

Reset button: Press this button to reset the server and run the power-on self-test (POST). You might have to use a pen or the end of a straightened paper clip to press the button.

Hard disk drive activity LED: When this LED is flashing, it indicates that a hard disk drive is in use.

Locator LED: This LED can be lit remotely by the system administrator to aid in visually locating the server.

System-error LED: When this LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred. An LED on the system board might also be lit to help isolate the error. See Chapter 5, “Solving problems,” on page 37 for additional information.
