Power Indicator

The system has indicators on the front panel and the power supplies that denote system power status (see

Figure 1

-2

).

Power Indicator Codes

The power button controls the AC power input to the system's power supplies. The power button indicator can provide information on power status.

Table 1

-4

lists the power-button indicator codes.

 

SCSI Hard-Drive Indicators

Each SCSI hard-drive carrier has two indicators: a busy indicator and a status indicator (see

Figure 1

-3

). The indicators provide information on the status of

the respective hard drive.

Table 1

-5

lists the drive indicator codes.

Figure 1-3. SCSI Hard-Drive Indicators

 

Table 1

-5

lists the drive indicator codes. Different codes display as drive events occur in the system. For example, in the event of a hard-drive failure, the "drive

fail" code appears. After the drive is selected for removal, the "prepared for removal" code appears. After the replacement drive is installed, the "prepared for
operation, drive online" code appears.

 

Status LCD

The system's bezel indicator (see

Figure 1

-2

) shows when the system is operating correctly, when the system needs attention, or when the system is being

identified (see "

System Identification Indicators

"). When the bezel indicator signals an error condition, open the bezel to see further information provided be

the LCD.

The LCD can display two lines of alphanumeric characters. The display codes are presented in two color combinations:
