Chapter 2: Installation

InfiniBand LED Indicators (LE2/ LE3)

Two Infi niBand LED Indicators (LE2/LE3) are located on the motherboard. The green LED (LE2) is the Infi niBand Link LED; while the yellow LED (LE3) indicates activity. Refer to the table on the right for details. Also see the layout below for the LED locations.

Overheat LED/Fan Fail (JOH1)

The JOH1 header is used to connect an LED to provide warnings of chas- sis overheating. This LED will blink to indicate system overheat or a fan failure. Refer to the table on right for pin defi nitions.
