STATUS INDICATORS

This section explains the indication and meanings of the server lamps.
ACT Lamp ( )
The ACT lamp is green while the server is connected to the LAN. The lamp flashes while the
server is accessed via the LAN (during transmission/reception of packets). The number next to
the icon indicates the network port number on the rear panel of the server.
POWER Lamp (
The green POWER lamp lights to indicate normal operation while the server is powered.
When the server is off-powered, the POWER lamp stays unlit.
The POWER lamp indicates that the server is running in the power-saving mode (sleep mode).
If the OS supports the power-saving mode such as Windows 2000, running a command blinks
the POWER lamp in green and place the server in the power-saving mode. Press the POWER
switch to turn out the POWER lamp and place the server back in the normal mode.
The power-saving mode is only available when the OS supports the power-saving feature.
Some OS's allow you to set the server to automatically turn in the power-saving mode when no
access is made to the server for a certain period of time or to select the power-saving mode with
a command.
STATUS Lamp (
The STATUS lamp is on (green) while the server is operating normally. (The rear panel also
has the STATUS lamp on it.) If the STATUS lamp is off or turns amber and flashes, it indicates
that the server is in abnormal state.
The table below explains the STATUS lamp indication, the meanings, and the procedures.
NOTES:
If NEC ESMPRO or the offline maintenance utility is installed, you
can confirm the cause of a failure by referring to the error log.
If shutdown processing can be performed through the operating
system when you want to restart the system after turning the power
off, restart the system by performing shutdown processing. If
shutdown processing cannot be performed, restart the system by
resetting, forcibly turning the power off, or disconnecting and then
connecting the power cord.
