System-error LED When this amber LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred. An LED on the system board might also be lit to help isolate the error. See Chapter 5, "Solving problems," on page 67 for additional information. Detailed troubleshooting information is in the Problem Determination and Service Guide on the IBM Documentation CD. USB connectors Connect USB devices to these connectors. CD or DVD eject button Press this button to release a CD from the CD drive or a DVD from the DVD drive. CD or DVD drive activity LED When this LED is lit, it indicates that the CD drive or DVD drive is in use. Hot-swap hard disk drive activity LED (some models) On some models, each hot-swap drive has a hard disk drive activity LED. When this green LED is flashing, it indicates that the associated hard disk drive is in use. When the drive is removed, this LED also is visible on the SAS/SATA backplane, next to the drive connector. The backplane is the printed circuit board behind drive bays 4 through 11. Hot-swap hard disk drive status LED (some models) On some models, each hot-swap hard disk drive has an amber status LED. If this amber status LED for a drive is lit, it indicates that the associated hard disk drive has failed. If an optional ServeRAID adapter is installed in the server and the LED flashes slowly (one flash per second), the drive is being rebuilt. If the LED flashes rapidly (three flashes per second), the adapter is identifying the drive. When the drive is removed, this LED also is visible on the SAS/SATA backplane, below the hot-swap hard disk drive activity LED. Chapter 3. Server controls, LEDs, and power 39

System-error
LED
When
this
amber
LED
is
lit,
it
indicates
that
a
system
error
has
occurred.
An
LED
on
the
system
board
might
also
be
lit
to
help
isolate
the
error.
See
Chapter
5,
“Solving
problems,”
on
page
67
for
additional
information.
Detailed
troubleshooting
information
is
in
the
Problem
Determination
and
Service
Guide
on
the
IBM
Documentation
CD.
USB
connectors
Connect
USB
devices
to
these
connectors.
CD
or
DVD
eject
button
Press
this
button
to
release
a
CD
from
the
CD
drive
or
a
DVD
from
the
DVD
drive.
CD
or
DVD
drive
activity
LED
When
this
LED
is
lit,
it
indicates
that
the
CD
drive
or
DVD
drive
is
in
use.
Hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
activity
LED
(some
models)
On
some
models,
each
hot-swap
drive
has
a
hard
disk
drive
activity
LED.
When
this
green
LED
is
flashing,
it
indicates
that
the
associated
hard
disk
drive
is
in
use.
When
the
drive
is
removed,
this
LED
also
is
visible
on
the
SAS/SATA
backplane,
next
to
the
drive
connector.
The
backplane
is
the
printed
circuit
board
behind
drive
bays
4
through
11.
Hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
status
LED
(some
models)
On
some
models,
each
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
has
an
amber
status
LED.
If
this
amber
status
LED
for
a
drive
is
lit,
it
indicates
that
the
associated
hard
disk
drive
has
failed.
If
an
optional
ServeRAID
adapter
is
installed
in
the
server
and
the
LED
flashes
slowly
(one
flash
per
second),
the
drive
is
being
rebuilt.
If
the
LED
flashes
rapidly
(three
flashes
per
second),
the
adapter
is
identifying
the
drive.
When
the
drive
is
removed,
this
LED
also
is
visible
on
the
SAS/SATA
backplane,
below
the
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
activity
LED.
