System power LED: When this LED is lit and not flashing, it indicates that the
server is turned on. When this LED is flashing, it indicates that the server is turned
off and is still connected to an ac power source. When this LED is off, it indicates
that ac power is not present, or the power supply or the LED itself has failed. A
power LED is also on the rear of the server.
Power-control button: Press this button to turn the server on and off manually. A
power-control-button shield comes with the server. You can install this disk-shaped
shield to prevent the server from being turned off accidentally.
Hard disk drive activity LED: When this LED is flashing, it indicates that a hard
disk drive is in use.
System locator LED: Use this LED to visually locate the server among other
servers. You can use IBM Director to light this LED remotely.
