Notes: 1. The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for the blade server to recognize and use the keyboard and mouse, even if the keyboard and mouse have PS/2-style connectors. 2. If you install a supported Microsoft Windows operating system on the blade server while it is not the current owner of the keyboard, video, and mouse, a delay of up to 1 minute occurs the first time that you switch the keyboard, video, and mouse to the blade server. All subsequent switching takes place in the normal KVM switching time frame (up to 20 seconds). Activity LED: When this green LED is lit, it indicates that there is activity on the hard disk drive or network. Location LED: The system administrator can remotely turn on this blue LED to aid in visually locating the blade server. When this LED is lit, the location LED on the BladeCenter unit is also lit. The location LED can be turned off through the management-module Web interface at or through IBM® Director Console. For more information about the management-module Web interface, see http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/management/. For more information about IBM® Director, see the documentation on the IBM® Director CD that comes with the server, or visit the IBM® Director Information Center at http:// publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r2/topic/diricinfo_all/ diricinfoparent.html . Information LED: When this amber LED is lit, it indicates that information about a system error in the blade server has been placed in the management-module event log. The information LED can be turned off through the management-module Web interface at or through IBM® Director Console. For more information about the management-module Web interface, see http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/ management/. For more information about IBM® Director, see the documentation on the IBM® Director CD that comes with the server, or visit the IBM® Director Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r2/ topic/diricinfo_all/diricinfoparent.html . Blade-error LED: When this amber LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred in the blade server. The blade-error LED turns off only after the error is corrected. Media-tray select button: Press this button to associate the shared BladeCenter unit media tray (removable-media drives) with the blade server. The LED on the button flashes while the request is being processed and then is lit when the ownership of the media tray has been transferred to the blade server. It can take approximately 20 seconds for the operating system in the blade server to recognize the media tray. If there is no response when you press the media-tray select button, you can use the management-module Web interface to determine whether local control has been disabled on the blade server. Note: The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for the blade server to recognize and use the removable-media drives. Power-control button: This button is behind the control panel door. Press this button to turn on or turn off the blade server. 12 BladeCenter HS12 Type 8014 or 8028: Installation and User's Guide
