Rack operator panel

The rack operator panel contains 3 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and the unit
emergency power off (UEPO) switch.
The LEDs reflect various conditions of operation depending on the function they
represent. When you observe that their standard reflection is different, it can mean
that there is a need for service.
Use the UEPO switch with extreme caution and only as a last resort.
