System Overview
System Unit, Front View
System LCD
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is located on the left side of the front
panel. The LCD displays messages about the state of the system,
including
error
codes
(see
“LCD-Indicated
Problems”
in
the
Troubleshooting chapter for more details). The following symbols appear
in the LCD, representing the different system activities shown:
Figure 1-3
LCD Symbols
System Power Switch
The power switch is used to turn the system unit on and off. The
workstations have a “soft power down” feature that shuts the system
down in a controlled manner. Hitting the power switch is identical to
logging in as
root
, and executing
shutdown
-q
. Note that a soft power
down does not occur if you disconnect the power cord on the machine, or
if
you
disengage
the
power
supply
(by
removing
the
interlocked
thumbscrew on the rear panel of the chassis).
Removable-Media Devices
Depending on your configuration, you can have a CD drive and your
choice of either a DDS tape drive or a floppy diskette drive.
NOTE
You cannot have two of the same type of internal mass-storage device.
That is, you cannot have two CD drives, two floppy drives, or two DDS
drives, but you can have a CD drive and a floppy drive or a CD drive and
a DDS drive (you cannot have both a floppy drive and a DDS drive).
A description of each drive’s controls and indicators is in the chapter
describing that device, later in this document.
