panel. The LCD displays messages about the state of the system,
including

System Power Switch
The power switch is used to turn the system unit on and off. The
workstations have a "soft power down" feature that shuts the system
down in a controlled manner. Hitting the power switch is identical to
logging in as root, and executing shutdown -q. Note that a soft power
down does not occur if you disconnect the power cord on the machine, or
if you disengage the power supply (by removing the interlocked
thumbscrew on the rear panel of the chassis).
Removable-Media Devices
Depending on your configuration, you can have a CD drive and your
choice of either a DDS tape drive or a floppy diskette drive.
NOTE
You cannot have two of the same type of internal mass-storage device.
That is, you cannot have two CD drives, two floppy drives, or two DDS
drives, but you can have a CD drive and a floppy drive or a CD drive and
a DDS drive (you cannot have both a floppy drive and a DDS drive).
A description of each drive's controls and indicators is in the chapter
describing that device, later in this document.
