System Interface

3-1

Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SCSI

drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the

system as well as the activity and health of specific components. There

are also two buttons on the chassis control panel and an on/off switch on

the power supply.

Control Panel Buttons

There are three push-button buttons located on the front of the chassis.

These are (in order from left to right) a reset button, an MNI (non-maskable

interface) button and a power on/off button.

l

RESET:

Use the reset button to reboot the system.

l

NMI:

NMI stands for "non-maskable interrupt". Pressing this button

issues a non-maskable interrupt to force the server into a halt state. This is

used for diagnostic purposes, and allows you to perform a memory down-

load to determine the cause of a problem.
