Obtaining Technical Assistance
Your system is a high-performance enterprise server offering new levels of performance and scalability with up to four Intel
® Xeon™ microprocessors and 16
GB of system memory, as well as hot-pluggable redundant hard drives, expansion slots, power supplies, and system fans.
This section describes the major hardware and software features of your system and provides information about the indicators on the system's front and back
panels. It also provides information about other documents you may need when setting up your system and how to obtain technical assistance.
Front-Bezel Indicators
The system's bezel has an indictor that can represent system status when the bezel is installed (see Figure 1 -1 ). The indicator signifies when the system is
operating properly or when the system needs attention. The back-panel system-status indicator functions the same as the bezel indicator. A caution code
signifies a problem with power supply, system or power-supply fans, system temperature, hard drives, or expansion cards.
Table 1 -1 lists the system's status indicator codes and the system's back-panel status indicator codes.

Additional indicators are located behind the bezel for system power and hard drives. The CD and diskette drives have green activity indicators. The front-panel
LCD display provides status information using an alphanumeric character display (see "
LCD Status Messages "). See Figure 1 -2 for the front-panel indicators
and features.
