Obtaining Technical Assistance
Your system is a rack-dense, full-featured, highly available, rack-mount system equipped with one or two Intel® Xeon™ microprocessors.
This section describes the major hardware and software features of your system and provides information about the indicators on the system's front and
back panels. It also provides information about other documents you may need when setting up your system and how to obtain technical assistance.
Indicators on the Optional Bezel
The optional system bezel incorporates a system status indicator divided into blue and amber system status indicators. See Figure 1-1. The blue indicator
lights up when the system is operating correctly. The amber indicator lights up when the system needs attention due to a problem with power supplies, fans,
system temperature, or hard drives.
