    ACPI The server supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) as defined by the ACPI 1.0b and PC97 specifications. An ACPI-aware operating system can put the system into a state where the hard drives spin down, the system fans stop, and all processing is halted. However, the power supply will still be on and the processors will still be dissipating some power, so the power supply fans will still run.

    STATUS Lamp The STATUS lamp stays lit in green when the server is in successful operation. When the STATUS lamp is unlit or lit/flashing in amber, it indicates that the server has failed. The following table lists indications of the STATUS lamp, descriptions, and actions to take. NOTES: If the server has the NEC ESMPRO or Off-line Maintenance Utility installed, you can view the error log to identify the cause of a trouble.
