System Support
4.5.3 System Status
These systems provide a visual indication of system boot, ROM flash, and operational status
through the power LED and internal speaker, as described in Table 4-7.
.
NOTES:
Beeps are repeated for 5 cycles, after which only blinking LED indication continues.
[1] Repeated after 2 second pause.
[2] Beeps are produced by the internal chassis speaker.
[3] Check that CPU power connector P3 is plugged in.
4.5.4 Thermal Sensing and Cooling
All systems feature a variable-speed fan mounted as part of the processor heatsink assembly. All
systems also provide or support an auxiliary chassis fan. All fans are controlled through
temperature sensing logic on the system board and/or in the power supply. There are some
electrical differences between form factors and between some models, although the overall
functionally is the same. Typical cooling conditions include the following:
1. Normal—Low fan speed.
2. Hot processor—ASIC directs Speed Control logic to increase speed of fan(s).
3. Hot power supply—Power supply increases speed of fan(s).
4. Sleep state—Fan(s) turned off. Hot processor or power supply will result in starting fan(s).
