STATUS INDICATORS

This section explains the indication and meanings of the server LEDs.

POWER LED ()

The green POWER LED lights to indicate normal operation while the server is powered. When the server is off-powered, the POWER LED stays unlit.

The POWER LED indicates that the server is running in the power-saving mode (sleep mode). If the OS supports the power-saving mode such as Windows Server 2003, running a command blinks the POWER LED in green and place the server in the power-saving mode. Press the POWER switch to turn out the POWER LED and place the server back in the normal mode.

The power-saving mode is only available when the OS supports the power-saving feature. Some OS's allow you to set the server to automatically turn in the power-saving mode when no access is made to the server for a certain period of time or to select the power-saving mode with a command.

STATUS LED ()

The STATUS LED is on (green) while the server is operating normally. (The rear panel also has the STATUS LED on it.) If the STATUS LED is off or turns amber and flashes, it indicates that the server is in abnormal state.

The table below explains the STATUS LED indication, the meanings, and the procedures.

NOTES:

„If NEC ESMPRO or the offline maintenance utility is installed, you can confirm the cause of a failure by referring to the error log.

„If shutdown processing can be performed through the operating system when you want to restart the system after turning the power off, restart the system by performing shutdown processing. If shutdown processing cannot be performed, restart the system by resetting, forcibly turning the power off, or disconnecting and then connecting the power cord.
