A – Power switch

Press to turn system DC power on or off.

B – Power LED

When green, power is present in system. When off, power is

 

turned off or power source is disrupted. See Table 1-1 for a

 

list and description of the system LED indicators.

C – Status LED

When green the system is OK. See Table 1-1 for a list and

 

description of the system LED indicators.

D – Disk LED

When green, internal disk drives are being accessed. See

 

Table 1-1 for a list and description of the system LED

 

indicators.

E – Sleep LED

When lit, system is in the sleep (power saving) mode.

F – Sleep switch

Places the system into the sleep (power saving) mode.

 

(An operating system supporting sleep mode is required.)

G – Removable media bays (2)

Each bay contains one 5.25-inch peripheral device: optional

 

tape drives, CD-ROM drive, etc.

H – Activity light, diskette drive

When lit, drive is in use.

I – Ejector button, diskette drive

Press to eject diskette.
