About the 5250 Appliance control panel

The 5250 Appliance includes a control panel on the right side of the front panel. System information is shown on this control panel.

System information

A

Power button with integrated LED

The Power button toggles the system on and off.

See About the Power button LED states.

B

Hard Drive Activity LED

The drive activity LED on the front panel indicates drive activity from the on-board hard disk controllers.

C

System ID button with integrated LED

The System ID button toggles the integrated ID LED and the blue server board LED on and off.

The system ID LED identifies the system for maintenance when it is racked with similar server systems.

D

Network Activity LEDs

The front control panel includes four activity LED indicators for each on-board network interface controller (NIC).

  • NIC-1 represents network interface controller 1

  • NIC-2 represents network interface controller 2

  • NIC-3 represents network interface controller 3

  • NIC-4 represents network interface controller 4

When network links are detected on the controllers, the LEDs are activated and remain on. The LEDs blink when network activity occurs, and the rate at which they blink is determined by the amount of network activity that occurs.

E

NMI button (recessed, tool required for use)

When it is depressed, the NMI button puts the appliance in a halt state, issues a non-maskable interrupt (NMI), and then triggers the non-maskable interrupt. When the NMI is triggered, the data that is in the process of being written to the server may be lost.

Veritas recommends that you do not enable NMI by pressing the NMI button.

F

System Cold Reset Button (recessed, tool required for use on non-storage models)

When depressed, the System Cold Reset button re-boots and re-initializes the appliance.

G

System Status LED

The System Status LED is bi-color indicator that uses the colors green and amber to display the current health of the appliance.

Two locations are provided for you to monitor the health of the system. You can find the first location on the front control panel, while the second location is located on the back edge of the server board. It is viewable from the rear of the appliance. Both LEDs show the same state of health.
