PowerEdge R710 Technical Guide 21
Control Panel Figure 8.
The LCD panel is a graphics display controlled by the iDRAC6. Both iDRAC6 and BIOS can send error codes and
messages to the display.
The system's LCD panel provides system information and status messages to signify when the system is
operating correctly or when the system needs attention.
BIOS has the ability to enter a secure mode through Setup, which locks the Power and NMI buttons. When in
this mode, the power button can still be used to turn on the server even when the power button is disabled in
System Setup.
For more information on the LCD panel, see the LCD Panel Features section in the About Your System chapter
in the PowerEdge R710 Hardware Owner’s Manual on Support.Dell.com

Cover Latch
The PowerEdge R710 comes with a coin lock entry latch on the top cover of the unit and provides security for
the entire system. The lock provides for tool-less access to the chassis.
Bezel
A metal bezel is mounted to the chassis. A lock on the bezel is used to protect unauthorized access to system
peripherals and the LCD control panel. System status on the LCD panel is viewable even when the bezel is
installed.
Hard Drive
The optional front bezel of the system contains a lock which secures the system hard drives. Some hard drives
can still be unplugged from the backplane with the bezel present, but they cannot be removed from the
chassis.
