    Enclosure Status LEDs At the top left of the system as you look at its front are three general enclosure status LEDs. Two of these LEDs, the system Service Required LED and the System Active LED, provide a snapshot of the overall enclosure status. A third LED, the Locator LED, helps you to locate a specific system quickly, even though it might be one of numerous systems in a room.

  • Page 20: Table 1-1 Enclosure Status Leds

    If the system Service Required LED is lit, check the status of other fault LEDs on the front panel to determine the nature of the fault. See the Netra 440 Server Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

  • Page 28: System Configuration Card

    A new system on the network can inherit an old system’s host ID and Ethernet MAC addresses through the old system’s SCC. Thus, migrating a SCC from one Netra 440 server to another can smooth the transitions to a new or upgraded system, or quickly bring up a backup system if a primary system becomes unavailable, without disrupting the system’s identity on the network.

  • Page 29: System Configuration Card Reader

    System Configuration Card Reader The system configuration card reader holds the system configuration card (discussed “System Configuration Card” on page 14). It also has the On/Standby button and the rotary switch for the system. On/Standby Button The system On/Standby button is recessed to prevent accidentally turning the system on or off.

  • Page 30: Table 1-8 Rotary Switch Settings

    This setting forces the power-on self-test (POST) and OpenBoot Diagnostics software to run firmware diagnostic tests at power on or during reset events. The On/Standby button functions the same as when the rotary switch is in the Normal position. Netra 440 Server Product Overview • March 2006...

  • Page 31: Hard Drives

    Hard Drives The Netra 440 server supports up to four internal, hot-swappable Ultra-4 Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) hard drives, attached to a backplane.
