Rear panel server LED and button locations
The rear panel of the server contains three (3) status LEDs that indicate server status and two (2) buttons that are used to power up and reset the server.
Item | Meaning |
1 | NVRAM battery backup status LED |
2 | Power status symbol and LED |
3 | Server status LED |
4 | Reset button |
5 | Power button |
Rear panel LED state descriptions
The NVRAM, power, and server status LEDs indicate whether the server is powered, its operational state, and whether the NVRAM is currently being protected by battery backup power. The way an LED flashes provides further information about what is currently occurring.
State | Meaning |
Green (solid) | Normal operation |
Green (flashing) | NVRAM contents are protected by battery power |
Amber (solid) | Battery pack is faulty or not fitted |
Off | Disabled or NVRAM battery power exhausted |
LEDs | Meaning |
Green | Normal operation with a single server or an active cluster node in operation. |
Slow flash (once every three seconds) | The system has been shut down. |
Medium flash (once every .8 seconds) | The server is available to host file services but is not currently doing so. Also if no EVS is configured or all EVSs are running on the other node in a cluster. |
Fast flash (five flashes per second) | The server is rebooting. |
Off | The server is not powered up. |
LEDs | Meaning |
Amber | Critical failure and the server is not operational. |
Slow flash (once every three seconds) | System shutdown has failed. Flashes once every three seconds. |
Medium flash (once every .8 seconds) | The server needs attention, and a non-critical failure has been detected, for example, a fan or power supply has failed. Flashes once every .8 seconds. |
Off | Normal operation. |
10 Gigabit Ethernet cluster interconnect ports
The 10 gigabit per second Ethernet (10 GbE) cluster ports allow you to connect cluster nodes together. The cluster ports are used only in a cluster configuration. The 10 GbE ports operate at speeds of ten (10) gigabits per second.
Do not use the 10 GbE cluster interconnect ports to connect to the customer data network (also known as the public data network).
Once connected, each 10 GbE port has two indicator LEDs; one green and one amber. These LEDs provide link status and network activity status information as follows:
Status/Activity (per port) | Meaning | ||
Status | Green
(on, not flashing) | 10 Gbps link present | |
Green flashing | 10 Gbps link standby in a redundant configuration | ||
Green off | No link | ||
Activity | Amber flashing | Network activity | |
Amber off | No network activity |
