Revision 1.3

Intel order number E15331-006

The BMC does not guarantee any specific rate at which the FIFO’s contents are displayed to

the LEDs.

5.7

Integrated Front Panel User Interface

The front panel has the following indicators:

Power LED

System status/fault LED

The front panel provides the following buttons:

Reset button

Power button

5.7.1

Power LED

The BMC does not control the Power Status LED. See the system BIOS EPS for details on

Power Status LED states.

5.7.2

System Status LED

Note:

The system status LED state shows the state for the current, most severe fault. For

example, if there was a critical fault due to one source and a non-critical fault due to another

source, the system status LED state would be solid on (the state for the critical fault).

The system status/fault LED is a bicolor LED. Green (status) is used to show a normal operation

state or a degraded operation. Amber (fault) shows the platform hardware state and overrides

the green status. The system status LED is controlled by the BMC. Early in the startup boot

process, the BIOS checks the chipset for any memory errors.

The BMC-detected states are included in the LED states. For fault states monitored by BMC

sensors, the contribution to the LED state follows the associated sensor state, with priority given

to the most critical asserted state.

When the server is powered down (transitions to the DC-off state or S5), the BMC is still on

standby power and retains the sensor and front panel status LED state established before the

power-down event.

The LED state information in Table 31 is dependent on the underlying sensor support.
