    Chapter 4: System Interface Chapter 4 System Interface Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel and the drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the over-all status of the system, as well as the activity and health of specific components. Most SC829 models have two buttons on the chas- sis control panel: a reset button and a power on/off button.

  • Page 36: Control Panel Buttons

    SC829 Chassis Manual Control Panel Buttons There are two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are (in order from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button. Reset: The reset button is used to reboot the system. Power: The main on/off button is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the server.
  • Page 37 Chapter 4: System Interface Informational LED: Continuously on and blue: UID function has been activated. Flashing red: Fan failure. Continuously on and red: Overheat condition. This may be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm.
