Figure 36. Front Control Panel Features
A – System ID Button w/Integrated LED: Toggles the integrated ID LED and the Blue server
board ID LED on and off. The System ID LED is used to identify the system for maintenance
when installed in a rack of similar server systems. The System ID LED can also be toggled on
and off remotely using the IPMI Chassis Identify command that causes the LED to blink for 15
seconds.
B – NMI Button: When the NMI button is pressed, it puts the server in a halt state and issues a
non-maskable interrupt (NMI). This can be useful when performing diagnostics for a given issue
where a memory download is necessary to help determine the cause of the problem. To prevent
an inadvertent system halt, the actual NMI button is located behind the Front Control Panel
faceplate where it is only accessible with the use of a small tipped tool like a pin or paper clip.
C, D, I, and J – Network Activity LEDs: The Front Control Panel includes an activity LED
indicator for each on-board Network Interface Controller (NIC). When a network link is detected,
the LED will turn on solid. The LED will blink once network activity occurs at a rate that is
consistent with the amount of network activity that is occurring.
E – System Cold Reset Button: When pressed, this button will reboot and re-initialize the
system.
F – System Status LED: The System Status LED is a bi-color (Green/Amber) indicator that
shows the current health of the server system. The system provides two locations for this
feature; one is located on the Front Control Panel, and the other is located on the back edge of
the server board that is viewable from the back of the system. Both LEDs are tied together and
show the same state. The System Status LED states are driven by the on-board platform
management subsystem. The following table provides a description of each supported LED
state.
