Each hard drive has two LEDs. The LEDs are most visible when the bezel is attached to the front of the system. The LEDs

provide the following information for each hard drive:

When the LED on the left side is green, the hard drive is installed in the drive bay and working. When this LED is

amber, the hard drive is installed in the bay, but it is not working correctly.

When the LED on the right side flashes amber, the hard drive is active.

Back-Panel Features

This section provides a basic overview of the system's features on the back panel.

Figure 1-3

shows the back-panel

features of the system.

Power Connector

The power cable plugs in to this connector.

LAN Connectors

Two LAN ports connect the system to an Ethernet network with RJ-45 connector LAN cables.

Serial Port

The serial port enables you to connect to the appliance through console redirection or remote access services (RAS).

NOTE:

Console redirection is enabled by default. However, if you disable it in the BIOS Setup utility, you can re-

enable it only by pressing the console redirection button on the system board. See your Installation and

Troubleshooting Guide for information about enabling console redirection.

System Cover

Although you do not need to configure the system hardware, you can remove the cover as needed to troubleshoot the

hardware or replace parts. To remove the cover, press the latches on the cover inward, grasp the cover on both sides,

then slide the cover backwards about an inch and carefully lift it off (see

Figure 1-4

).

To replace the system cover, fit the cover over the sides of the chassis, and slide the cover forward, slightly applying

pressure to the rear part of the cover, until it snaps into place.
