LED and Button

After a VersaView 6300B box PC or 6300T thin client is powered on, various
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) monitor its state. Use these LEDs to determine if
they are lit and what color they emit.
There are also buttons on the computer to reset computer states that are
monitored by the LEDs.
