PFC500/E Instruction Manual

November 17, 2000

The front panel contains the chassis address (CA) light, two status lights for each disk
module slot, and two status lights. All lights are visible with the front door closed.

The chassis address light displays the chassis address setting for the PFC 500. The
PFC500 must have a CA of 0. You must set that CA using the chassis address
switches, as explained in Chapter 2.

The status lights are described in the “Monitoring PFC500/E status” on page 42.

Midplane
