System-board error LEDs

The following illustration shows the location of the LEDs on the system board. You
might need to refer to this illustration when solving problems with the computer.
Each error LED is lit to indicate a problem with a specific component. After a
problem is corrected, its LED will not be lit the next time the computer is restarted;
if the problem remains, the LED will be lit again. See "Solving problems" in the
User's Guide on the IBM IntelliStation Documentation CD for additional information.

Product Recovery program

The Product Recovery program is on a hidden partition on the hard disk. The
Product Recovery program runs independently of the operating system and
reinstalls your operating system and preinstalled software.
If you are using FDISK, Disk Management, or another utility to reformat the hard
disk, you might see the partition where the Product Recovery program is stored. Do
not delete this partition; otherwise, the Product Recovery program will be lost.
If your hard disk drive, including the partition where the Product Recovery program
is located, becomes damaged or if you replace the hard disk drive, contact IBM to
order the IBM Product Recovery CD to recover your preinstalled operating system,
application programs, and device drivers. See Appendix A, "Getting help and
technical assistance," on page 51 for details.
