These are, in order from top to bottom, a power on/off button, reset button and a mute button. Power: The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the server system.
  • Page 17 Chapter 3: System Interface Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating. Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED flashes it indicates a fan failure. When continu- ously on (not flashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm.
  • Page 18: Drive Carrier Leds

    SC933 Chassis Manual Drive Carrier LEDs Your chassis uses SAS or SCSI drives, but not both. SAS Drives Each SAS drive carrier has two LEDs. • Green: Each SAS drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green LED (on the front of the SAS drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A connection to the SAS backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.
