Reset button: System-error LED: USB connector: Release latch: Information LED: Locator LED: SCSI activity LED: Operator information panel Press this button to reset the server and run the power-on self-test (POST). You might have to use a pen or the end of a straightened paper clip to press the button. When this LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred. An LED on the diagnostic LED panel on the side of the operator information panel is also lit to help isolate the error (see "Light path diagnostics" on page 18). You can connect a USB device to this connector. Press this latch to release the operator information panel to access the light path diagnostics LED panel. When this LED is lit, it indicates that a noncritical event has occurred (see "Light path diagnostics" on page 18). Use this blue LED to visually locate the server if it is in a location with numerous other servers. A locator LED is also on the rear of the server. You can use the Management Processor Assistant (MPA) in IBM Director to cause this LED to be lit, off, or flashing (see the User's Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for more information). If the server is connected to an RXE-100 Remote Expansion Enclosure, pressing the Locate button on the enclosure causes this LED to be lit. Note: This LED flashes while the server is being turned on or restarted, and turns off when POST is complete. When this LED is lit, it indicates that there is activity on the SCSI bus. CD-ROM drive activity LED: When this LED is lit, it indicates that the CD-ROM drive is in use. Diskette drive activity LED: When this LED is lit, it indicates that the diskette drive is in use. Hard disk drive activity LED: When this LED is flashing, it indicates that the associated hard disk drive is in use. Hard disk drive status LED: When this LED is lit continuously, it indicates that the associated hard disk drive has failed. The interpretation of a flashing status LED depends on the SCSI controller that is connected to the hot-swap drive, as follows: v When the drive is connected to the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities, a flashing status LED indicates that the drive is a secondary drive in a mirrored pair and the drive is being synchronized. v When the drive is connected to an optional ServeRAID™ controller, a slowly flashing (one flash per second) status LED indicates that the drive is being rebuilt. When the LED is flashing rapidly (three flashes per second), it indicates that the controller is identifying the drive. Hard disk drive filler panels: A filler panel and air baffle is used to cover empty hard disk drive bays. A filler panel and air baffle must be installed in each empty bay to ensure proper system cooling. Your server comes with five filler panels and air baffles installed, and one completely empty bay.

or
the
end
of
a
straightened
paper
clip
to
press
the
button.
System-error
LED:
When
this
LED
is
lit,
it
indicates
that
a
system
error
has
occurred.
An
LED
on
the
diagnostic
LED
panel
on
the
side
of
the
operator
information
panel
is
also
lit
to
help
isolate
the
error
(see
“Light
path
diagnostics”
on
page
18).
USB
connector:
You
can
connect
a
USB
device
to
this
connector.
Release
latch:
Press
this
latch
to
release
the
operator
information
panel
to
access
the
light
path
diagnostics
LED
panel.
Information
LED:
When
this
LED
is
lit,
it
indicates
that
a
noncritical
event
has
occurred
(see
“Light
path
diagnostics”
on
page
18).
Locator
LED:
Use
this
blue
LED
to
visually
locate
the
server
if
it
is
in
a
location
with
numerous
other
servers.
A
locator
LED
is
also
on
the
rear
of
the
server.
You
can
use
the
Management
Processor
Assistant
(MPA)
in
IBM
Director
to
cause
this
LED
to
be
lit,
off,
or
flashing
(see
the
User’s
Guide
on
the
IBM
xSeries
Documentation
CD
for
more
information).
If
the
server
is
connected
to
an
RXE-100
Remote
Expansion
Enclosure,
pressing
the
Locate
button
on
the
enclosure
causes
this
LED
to
be
lit.
Note:
This
LED
flashes
while
the
server
is
being
turned
on
or
restarted,
and
turns
off
when
POST
is
complete.
SCSI
activity
LED:
When
this
LED
is
lit,
it
indicates
that
there
is
activity
on
the
SCSI
bus.
CD-ROM
drive
activity
LED:
When
this
LED
is
lit,
it
indicates
that
the
CD-ROM
drive
is
in
use.
Diskette
drive
activity
LED:
When
this
LED
is
lit,
it
indicates
that
the
diskette
drive
is
in
use.
Hard
disk
drive
activity
LED:
When
this
LED
is
flashing,
it
indicates
that
the
associated
hard
disk
drive
is
in
use.
Hard
disk
drive
status
LED:
When
this
LED
is
lit
continuously,
it
indicates
that
the
associated
hard
disk
drive
has
failed.
The
interpretation
of
a
flashing
status
LED
depends
on
the
SCSI
controller
that
is
connected
to
the
hot-swap
drive,
as
follows:
v
When
the
drive
is
connected
to
the
integrated
SCSI
controller
with
RAID
capabilities,
a
flashing
status
LED
indicates
that
the
drive
is
a
secondary
drive
in
a
mirrored
pair
and
the
drive
is
being
synchronized.
v
When
the
drive
is
connected
to
an
optional
ServeRAID
controller,
a
slowly
flashing
(one
flash
per
second)
status
LED
indicates
that
the
drive
is
being
rebuilt.
When
the
LED
is
flashing
rapidly
(three
flashes
per
second),
it
indicates
that
the
controller
is
identifying
the
drive.
Hard
disk
drive
filler
panels:
A
filler
panel
and
air
baffle
is
used
to
cover
empty
hard
disk
drive
bays.
A
filler
panel
and
air
baffle
must
be
installed
in
each
empty
bay
to
ensure
proper
system
cooling.
Your
server
comes
with
five
filler
panels
and
air
baffles
installed,
and
one
completely
empty
bay.
