Local Area Network (LAN) LEDs
The LAN has LEDs on the connector that provide status information about the
LAN. Interpret the LAN LEDs as shown in Table 2-5.
Table 2-5. Local Area Network LED Status
Green LED Yellow LED LAN Status:
ON/Flashing OFF
The LAN is connected and data is being
transferred at 10Mbps.
ON/Flashing ON The LAN is connected and data is being
transferred at 100Mbps.
OFF OFF
The LAN is not connected or is not operational
(see Chapter 12, "Troubleshooting").
Power Supplies
Each NetServer is shipped with three power supply blocks in the standard
configuration. An optional fourth power supply block can be added to provide
redundancy allowing power supplies to be hot-swapped.
Power Supply Status LEDs
Each power supply block has one green LED. Interpret the green LEDs on the
power supplies as shown in Table 2-6.
Table 2-6. Power Supply LED Status
Green LED NetServer Status:
Steady Green The system is powered up.
Off
The AC line is unplugged or the power supply
has failed (see Chapter 12, "Troubleshooting").
Connecting the HP NetServer to AC Power
When you connect the NetServer to an AC power source, the server temporarily
draws additional current. This occurs even when the system is in standby mode.
This "inrush current" is much greater than the server’s normal operating needs.
Generally, your external AC power source can handle the inrush current.
If you install several HP NetServers on one circuit, precautions are necessary. If
there is a power failure and power is then restored, all the servers immediately
begin to draw inrush current at the same time. If the circuit breakers on the
incoming power line have insufficient capacity, they may trip and thus prevent the
servers from powering up.
