Local Control Panel Option
The LCD (Local Control Display) is a one line character display that resides on the front panel of
the chassis. It can display a maximum of 18 characters at a time. This device also contains 3

the LCD screen by operating these buttons.

LCD Functionality
The LCD device provides the following features:
 Displays a banner when the system is healthy. The default banner is the server name.
 Displays active error messages when the system is not healthy.
 Provides basic server management configuration.
 Provides the ability to see asset information without having to open the chassis.
The LCD display is menu driven. Based on the user’s selection, respective menu items are
displayed. As soon as AC Power is applied to the system, the LCD panel displays faults
detected while the system is on standby power prior to DC power on. If there are no faults, a
banner is displayed. By default the banner is a text string which displays the “Server Name”.
The “Server Name” is the value specified as the product name in the product FRU information in
the BMC FRU. Users can set any of the parameters under the banner configuration menu as a
banner string.
When the system’s status is degraded, the corresponding active event will be displayed in place
of the banner. During an error, the background color will be light amber in color. The LCD panel
displays the event with the highest severity that is most recent and is currently active (that is, in
an asserted state). For the case that there are multiple active events with the same severity, the
most recent event will be displayed. The LCD panel returns to a light blue background when
there are no longer any degraded, non-fatal, or fatal events active. The LCD panel must operate
in lock-step with the system status LED. For example, if the system is operating normally and an
