CD/DVD  drive  activity  LED:  When  this  LED  is  lit,  it  indicates  that  the  CD-RW/DVD 
drive  is  in  use. 
Rack  release  latches:  Press  these  latches  to  release  the  server  from  the  rack. 
Rear  view 
The  following  illustration  shows  the  connectors  and  LEDs  on  the  rear  of  the  server. 
 
Attention:  In  a  dc  power  environment,  see  the  documentation  that  comes  with 
the  dc  power  supply  for  information  about  the  power-supply  LEDs.

Power-cord  connector  (ac  power  supply  only):  Connect  the  power  cord  to  this 
connector. 
 
Attention:  In  a  dc  power  environment,  only  trained  service  personnel  other  than 
IBM  service  technicians  are  authorized  to  connect  or  disconnect  power  to  the  dc 
power  supply.  See  the  documentation  that  comes  with  each  dc  power  supply. 
AC  power  LED:  Each  hot-swap  power  supply  has  an  ac  power  LED  and  a  dc 
power  LED.  When  the  ac  power  LED  is  lit,  it  indicates  that  sufficient  power  is 
coming  into  the  power  supply  through  the  power  cord.  During  typical  operation,  both 
the  ac  and  dc  power  LEDs  are  lit.  For  any  other  combination  of  LEDs,  see  the 
Problem  Determination  and  Service  Guide  on  the  IBM  System  x  Documentation 
CD. 
DC  power  LED:  Each  hot-swap  power  supply  has  a  dc  power  LED  and  an  ac 
power  LED.  When  the  dc  power  LED  is  lit,  it  indicates  that  the  power  supply  is 
supplying  adequate  DC  power  to  the  system.  During  typical  operation,  both  the  ac 
and  dc  power  LEDs  are  lit.  For  any  other  combination  of  LEDs,  see  the  Problem 
Determination  and  Service  Guide  on  the  IBM  System  x  Documentation  CD. 
Systems-management  Ethernet  connector:  Use  this  connector  to  connect  the 
server  to  a  network  for  systems-management  information  control.  This  connector  is 
active  only  if  you  have  installed  a  Remote  Supervisor  Adapter  II  SlimLine,  and  it  is 
used  only  by  the  Remote  Supervisor  Adapter  II  SlimLine. 
Ethernet  activity  LEDs:  When  these  LEDs  are  lit,  they  indicate  that  the  server  is 
transmitting  to  or  receiving  signals  from  the  Ethernet  LAN  that  is  connected  to  the 
Ethernet  port.
