Troubleshooting

Several status indicators provide general system status, alert you to system problems, and help you to determine the location of system faults:

At the top of the status and control panel, three general status LEDs provide a snapshot of the system status.

Below the power button and security key switch, a graphical display provides additional LED icons to indicate specific fault conditions and locations.

The general status LEDs work in conjunction with the specific fault LED icons. For example, a fault in the disk subsystem illuminates both the system fault LED at the top of the panel and the disk fault icon in the graphical display below it. Fault LEDs within the enclosure help pinpoint the location of the faulty device. Since all front panel status LEDs are powered by the system's

5-volt standby power source, fault LEDs remain lit for any fault condition that results in a system shutdown.

During system startup, the front panel LEDs are individually toggled on and off to verify that each one is working correctly. After that, the front panel LEDs operate as described in the following table.
