vPCI slot 1: Insert a low-profile PCI Express adapter into this slot. Standard models of the server come with two PCI Express rise assemblies installed.

vPCI slot 2: Insert a half-length, full-height PCI Express adapter into this slot. Standard models of the server come with two PCI Express rise assemblies installed.

vAC power LED: Each hot-swap power supply has an ac power LED and a dc power LED. When the ac power LED is lit, it indicates that sufficient power is coming into the power supply through the power cord. During typical operation, both the ac and dc power LEDs are lit. For any other combination of LEDs, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual.

vDC power LED: Each hot-swap power supply has a dc power LED and an ac power LED. When the dc power LED is lit, it indicates that the power supply is supplying adequate dc power to the system. During typical operation, both the ac and dc power LEDs are lit. For any other combination of LEDs, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual.

vPower connector: Connect the power cord to this connector.

vPower-on LED: When this LED is lit and not flashing, it indicates that the server is turned on. The states of the power-on LED are as follows:

Off: AC power is not present, or the power supply or the LED itself has failed.

Flashing rapidly (4 times per second): The server is turned off and is not ready to be turned on. The power-control button is disabled. This will last approximately 1 to 3 minutes.

Flashing slowly (once per second): The server is turned off and is ready to be turned on. You can press the power-control button to turn on the server.

Lit: The server is turned on.

Fading on and off: The server is in a reduced-power state. To wake the server, press the power-control button or use the IMM Web interface.

vSystem-error LED: When this LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred. An LED on the EasyLED panel is also lit to help isolate the error.
