system status
indicator The blue system status indicator lights during normal system operation. The amber system status indicator flashes when the system
needs attention due to a problem with power supplies, fans, system temperature, or hard drives, or if a chassis intrusion is detected.
NOTE: If the system is connected to AC power and an error has been detected, the amber system status indicator flashes regardless
of whether the system has been powered on.
NOTE: Use the systems management software to manage chassis intrusion alert actions and reset the system to detect future
security breaches.

l If the system is not running an ACPI-compliant operating system, power is turned off immediately after the power button is
pressed.
