About Front and Back Panel Features

The following sections describe the system front panel, with the doors open and closed, and the system back panel, showing all the ports and standard connectors.

Front Panel Features

The illustration below shows the system control features and status indicators that are accessible from the front panel with the system front doors closed.

When the key in the front panel keyswitch is in the Locked position, the front doors are also locked preventing access to the disk drives and power supplies. Before you close the doors, make sure that the key is in the Power-On/Off position and that you overlap the front doors correctly as you close them. After closing the doors, to lock them insert and turn the key to the Locked position; then remove the key.

Note This same key also controls the system cover lock on the top of the system (see “Reference for Physical Specifications” on page 218). If you lose the key, contact your Sun sales representative about replacing the key.
