Server controls, LEDs, and power
This section describes the controls and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and how to
turn the server on and off.
For the locations of other LEDs on the system board, see “System-board LEDs” on
page 30.

The following illustrations show the controls, LEDs, and connectors on the front of
your server model. As they are the same for either hot-swap or simple-swap
models, only the hot-swap model is used to show the relevant locations.
Note: The ten 2.5-inch simple-swap hard disk drive model is not supported.
