Information LED: The Information LED is indicated by a lower case "i". When this
yellow LED is lit, it indicates that information about a system event in the blade
server has been placed in the Advanced-Management-Module event log. The
information LED can be turned off through the Advanced-Management-Module
CLI, SNMP, or web interface. For more information about the Advanced-
Management-Module web interface, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/
management/.
Fault LED: The Fault LED is indicated by an exclamation mark. When this yellow
LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred in the blade server. The
blade-error LED turns off only after the error is corrected.
Power-control button: Press this button to turn on or turn off the blade server.
When the blade server is turned off, you can press and hold the power-control
button to light the LEDs of failing components in the blade server.
Note: The power-control button has effect only if local power control is enabled
for the blade server. Local power control is enabled and disabled through the
Advanced-Management-Module web interface.
NMI button (recessed): The nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) dumps the partition.
Use this recessed button only as directed by IBM Support.
Note: You can also send an NMI event to the selected blade server remotely using
the AMM. For more information, see the BladeCenter Advanced Management Module
User's Guide.
Keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) select button: Press this button to associate the
shared BladeCenter unit keyboard port, video port, and mouse port with the blade
server. The LED on this button flashes while the request is being processed and
then is lit when the ownership of the keyboard, video, and mouse has been
transferred to the blade server. It can take approximately 20 seconds to switch the
keyboard, video, and mouse control to the blade server.
Using a keyboard that is directly attached to the AMM, you can press keyboard
keys in the following sequence to switch KVM control between blade servers
instead of using the KVM select button:
If there is no response when you press the KVM select button, you can use the
Advanced-Management-Module web interface to determine whether local control
has been disabled on the blade server. See http://www.ibm.com/systems/
management/ for more information.
