Description
1
USB port
 
2
NMI Button
Puts the appliance in a halt state and issues a non-maskable interrupt (NMI). This 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.
3
Primary Network Interface Card (NIC) activity LED
Solid Green = Network link is detected.
Blinking Green = Activity. The blink rate is consistent with the amount of network activity.
4
System Cold Reset Button
Reboots the appliance.
5
Hardware Status LED
Off = System is powered off.
Solid green = Hardware is working correctly.
Blinking green= System hardware is degraded.
The system is operating in a degraded state although still functional, or system is operating in a redundant state but with an impending failure warning.
Note: The Hardware Status LED does not detect software issues, such as licensing status or the system becoming unresponsive. Only hardware status is shown.
Blinking amber = The system is operating in a degraded state with an impending failure warning.
Solid amber = The system has failed or shutdown.
6
Power Button with Integrated LED
Green = System on
No Light = System off
7
Drive Activity
Blinking Green = Activity
8
Auxiliary NIC activity LED
Solid Green = Network link is detected.
Blinking Green = Activity. The blink rate is consistent with the amount of network activity.
9
System ID Button with Integrated LED
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.
LEDs on Disk Drives
Activity LED
Blinking Green = Read/Write Activity
Disk Fault LED
Orange = Failed Disk
Blinking Orange = RAID Rebuild
Figure: Back panel
The numbers 1-6 on the back panel in Figure: Back panel refer to card slot numbers.
Numbers 24 and 25 refer to HDD/SDD slots. Slot 24 is populated with an HDD.
Specification
Description
Primary and AUX Ports
Left LED
Solid green = Network link is detected.
Blinking Green = Activity.
Right LED
No Light (with link on left LED) = 10 MBps data rate
Green = 100 MBps data rate
Yellow = 1000 MBps data rate
LEDs on Power Supply
Solid green = Power On and Healthy
No AC power = Off
Blinking Green = Standby or power supply firmware updating
Amber = Power Lost But Second Power Supply Has Power
Blinking Amber = Power On With Warning Events (high temperature, high power, high current, slow fan)
