Chapter 3: System Interface

3-1

Chapter 3 

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the two control panels as well as others on the SATA 

drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as 

well as the activity and health of specifi c components. There are also two buttons 

on each control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and 

the appropriate response you may need to take. Note that the server has two control 

panels, one for each node in the system. This allows each node (serverboard) to 

be controlled independently of the other.

3-2  Control Panel Buttons

There are two push-buttons located on each control panel: a reset button and a 

power on/off button.

Reset

Depressing the reset button will reboot only the serverboard it is associated with.

Power

This is the main power button, which is used to apply or turn off the main system 

power only to the node (serverboard) it is associated with. Depressing this button 

removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the serverboard.
