Once connected, each 10 GbE port has two indicator LEDs; one green and one amber.

These LEDs provide link status and network activity status information as follows:

Server rear panel - all models

The rear panel of all server models features numerous ports, connectors, switches, and

LEDs. The rear panel also 

offers

 access to the server's power supply units (PSUs).

Power button (PWR)

Under normal circumstances, the power button is rarely used. However, the power

button can be used to restore power to the system when the server is in a standby

power state.
When power cables are connected to the PSUs, the server normally powers up

immediately. If, after 10 seconds, the LEDs on the power supplies are lit, but the Power

Status LED is not lit, press the PWR button to restore power to the system. Open a case

with Hitachi Vantara Support Connect to get the problem resolved.

Note: 

Do not use the power button during normal operation of the server.

Pressing the power button immediately causes an improper shutdown of the

system. The PSUs will continue to run.
