System Interface

3-1 Overview

The control panel on the 7045A-C3/7045A-CT has several LEDs and two buttons. There are also two LEDs on each SAS/SATA drive carrier. These LEDs keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system and the activity and health of speciﬁc components.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

There are two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis: a power on/off button and a reset button.

Power

This is the main power button, which is used to apply or turn off the main system power. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

Reset

Use the reset button to reboot the system.
