Note: By default, the SteelFusion Core 3500 ships with a four-port 1G copper network card in slot 1. The default interface names for this card are ETH1_0, ETH1_1, ETH1_2, and ETH1_3.
This table summarizes the appliance LEDs and buttons.
Reference
LED/button
Description
1
System ID button with integrated LED
Maintenance = blue
Toggles the integrated ID LED and the blue server board ID LED on and off. The system ID LED identifies the system for maintenance when installed in a rack of similar server systems. You can also remotely turn on and turn off the System ID LED using the IPMI “Chassis Identify” command, which causes the LED to blink for 15 seconds.
A duplicate system ID LED is on the back of the appliance to the left of the video port.
2
NMI button
Pressing the NMI button puts the appliance in a halt state and issues a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI). This process helps when performing diagnostics for a given issue where a memory download is necessary to determine the cause of the problem. To prevent an inadvertent system halt, the NMI button is located behind the front control panel faceplate and is only accessible with the use of a small tipped tool such as a pin or paper clip.

Link = green
Activity = blinks green. The blink rate is consistent with the amount of network activity.
4
 
The appliance does not use this LED.
5
System cold reset button
Pressing this button reboots the appliance.
6
System status LED
The system status LED shows the current health of the server system.
Healthy = green
Degraded = yellow
Critical = blinks yellow
7
Power button with integrated LED
System on = green
System off = no light
8
Drive activity
Activity = blinks green
9
 
The appliance does not use this LED.
 
LEDs on disk drives
Activity LED
Read/write activity = blinks green
Disk fault LED
Failed disk = orange
RAID rebuild = blinks orange
 
LEDs on primary and AUX ports
Left LED
Link = green
Activity = blinks green
Right LED
10 MBps data rate = no light (with link on left LED)
100 MBps data rate = green
1000 MBps data rate = yellow
 
LEDs on power supply
Power on and healthy = green
Power off = off
Standby = blinks green
Power lost but second power supply has power = amber
Power on with warning events (high temperature, high power, high current, slow fan) = blinks amber
