Note: On some server models, each hot-swap hard disk drive has a status LED. The interpretation of a flashing status LED depends on the SCSI controller 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. USB port: This is an automatically configured port that you can use to connect one or more USB devices to the front of the server, using Plug and Play technology. System-error LED: When this amber LED is on, it indicates a system error has occurred. Information LED: When this amber LED is on, it indicates information about a system error has been placed in the System Error log. SCSI activity LED: When this green LED is on, it indicates that there is activity on the SCSI bus. Locator LED: The locator LED is on the left front of the Light Path Diagnostic drawer. This blue LED indicates the primary and secondary servers. This LED blinks on the primary server. If the LED remains solid, it indicates that server is the secondary server. DVD-ROM drive eject button: Press this button to release a DVD-ROM drive from the server. DVD eject button: Press this button to release a DVD from the DVD-ROM drive. DVD-ROM drive activity LED: When this LED is on, it indicates that the DVD-ROM drive is in use. Diskette drive eject button: Press this button to release a diskette drive from the server. Diskette eject button: Press this button to release a diskette from the diskette drive. Diskette drive activity LED: When this LED is on, it indicates that the diskette drive is in use. Power-supply latch: This latch is used to secure the power supply in place. Reset button: 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. Power-control button:Press this button to turn the server on and off manually. A power-control-button shield comes with the server. You can install this disk-shaped shield to prevent the server from being turned off accidentally. Chapter 1. General information 5
