About the compute node control panel
The 3360 Appliance compute node includes a control panel on the right side of the front panel. System information is shown on this control panel.
Table: Control panel system LED descriptions
LED | System information |
|---|---|
Power button with integrated LED | The Power button toggles the system on and off. This button also functions as a sleep button if enabled by an ACPI compliant operating system. Pressing this button sends a signal to the integrated BMC that either powers on or powers off the system. Holding the power button for 10 seconds or more leads to a hard shutdown. The integrated LED is a single color (green) and supports different indicator states as defined in the following table. |
Drive Activity LED | The drive activity LED on the front panel indicates drive activity from the server board NVMe and NVMe storage controllers. The server board also has an I2C header labeled "SAS_MODULE_MISC" to provide access to this LED for add-in NVMe or NVMe storage controllers. |
System ID button with integrated LED | Toggles the integrated ID LED and the blue server board system ID LED on and off. Both LEDs are tied together and show the same state. The onboard system ID LED is on the back edge of the server board, viewable from the back of the system. The system ID LEDs are used to identify the system for maintenance when installed in a rack of similar server systems. Two options available for illuminating the system ID LEDs are:
|
NMI button (recessed, tool required for use) | When the NMI button is pressed, it puts the system in a halt state and issues a non-maskable interrupt (NMI). This situation can be useful when performing diagnostics for a given issue where a memory download is necessary to help determine the cause of the problem. To prevent an inadvertent system halt, the actual NMI button is behind the front control panel faceplate where it is only accessible with the use of a small tipped tool like a pin or paper clip. |
System Cold Reset Button | When pressed, this button reboots and re-initializes the system. Unlike the power button, the reset button does not disconnect the power to the system. It just starts the system's Power-On Self-Test (POST) sequence over again. |
System Status LED | The system status LED is a bi-color (green/amber) indicator that shows the current health of the server system. The system provides two locations for this feature; one is on the front control panel and the other is on the back edge of the server board, viewable from the back of the system. Both LEDs are tied together and show the same state. The system status LED states are driven by the server board platform management subsystem. When the server is powered down (transitions to the DC-Off state or S5), the BMC is still on standby power and retains the sensor and front panel status LED state established before the power-down event. 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. |
