The LCD (Local Control Display) is a one line character display that resides on the front panel of the chassis. It
can display a maximum of 18 characters at a time. This device also contains 3 buttons (Left, Right and Enter).
The user can select the content that needs to be displayed on the LCD screen by operating these buttons.

LCD Functionality

The LCD (Local Control Display) device provides the following features:
• Displays a banner when the system is healthy. The default banner is the server name.
• Displays active error messages when the system is not healthy.
• Provides basic server management configuration.
• Provides the ability to see asset information without having to open the chassis.
The LCD display is menu driven. Based on the user's selection, respective menu items are displayed. As soon
as AC Power is applied to the system, the LCD panel displays faults detected while the system is on standby
power prior to DC power on. If there are no faults, a banner is displayed. By default the banner is a text string
which displays the "Server Name". The "Server Name" is the value specified as the product name in the
product FRU information in the BMC FRU. Users can set any of the parameters under the banner configuration
menu as a banner string.
When the system's status is degraded, the corresponding active event will be displayed in place of the banner.
During an error, the background color will be light amber in color. The LCD panel displays the event with the
highest severity that is most recent and is currently active (i.e. in an asserted state). For the case that there are
multiple active events with the same severity, the most recent event will be displayed. The LCD panel returns
to a light blue background when there are no longer any degraded, non-fatal, or fatal events active. The LCD
panel shall operate in lock-step with the system status LED. For example, if the system is operating normally
and an event occurs that results in the system status LED to blink green, then the LCD shall display the
degraded event that triggered the systems status LED to blink.
