Controls and Indicators

The system management subsystem includes the buttons, switches, and indicators on the front and back of the server, and the embedded server management software, Oracle System Assistant and Oracle ILOM:

Front Indicator Module (FIM) Panel

The front indicator module (FIM) panel is located at the top left corner of the server (as viewed from the front of the server). It contains indicators and buttons that allow you to manage the server and determine its status.

The following illustration shows the buttons and indicators on the FIM.

Description
Details
1
Locator indicator and button
When activated remotely, it helps you find the server in a rack or room of servers. For more information about managing the Locator indicator remotely and locally, see Managing the Locator Indicator.
2
Service Action Required indicator
When lit, it indicates that a system fault has occurred. Other amber (fault) indicators might also be lit, which can help you isolate the fault to a particular subsystem. For more information about using the Service Action Required and subsystem fault indicators, see Troubleshooting Indicators.
3
Power OK indicator
Along with the SP indicator (below), it provides the status of the system power. For more information about using the Power and SP indicators to determine power state, see Troubleshooting Indicators.
4
Power on and off button
Use it to manage power locally, when at the server. The duration of the button press determines the type of power off (graceful or immediate). For more information about using the Power button, see Powering Off the Server and Power On the Server.
5
SP OK indicator
Along with the Power OK indicator (above), it provides the status of the system power. For more information about using the Power and SP indicators to determine power state, see Troubleshooting Indicators.
6
Server over-temperature indicator
When lit, it indicates that a fault has occurred in the cooling subsystem. The system Service Action Required indicator might also be lit. For more information about using the subsystem fault indicators and the system Service Action Required indicator, see Troubleshooting Indicators.
7
Rear (Back) Service Action Required indicator
When lit, it indicates that a fault has occurred to one of the components on the server backside (SMOD, DPCC, PCIe card, or HBA). Other indicators (status and fault) might also be lit or in non-normal operating condition state (for example, if the backside SP Service Action Required indicator is lit, the system might not be able to boot and the Power OK indicator might not turn on). For more information about using the subsystem indicators and the system Service Action Required indicator, see Troubleshooting Indicators.
8
CMOD service action required indicators (0-7)
These light if the corresponding CMOD is in a fault state.

OK indicator (green)
Lights when the storage drive is functioning normally and blinks to show activity.

Note -  The storage drive indicators blink at various rates depending on the activity. For more information on blink rates, see Indicator Blink Rates.

Back Indicator Panel

The back indicator panel located on the SMOD allows you manage the server and determine its status. It includes some indicators and buttons not found on the front indicator module (FIM), including reset switches and indicators for SMOD components.

The following figure shows the back inidcator panel:

Switches and Buttons

When you are at the server, the following switches and buttons are accessible:

  • Front panel Power button

    Allows you to control server power while local to (at) the server. For power off information, see Powering Off the Server. For power on information, see Power On the Server.

  • Two Locator indicator buttons (one on the front of the server and one on the back)

    The buttons allow you to manage the Locator indicator locally. To deactivate (or activate) the Locator indicator, press and release the button (see Managing the Locator Indicator).

  • Service processor (SP) pinhole reset button on the back of the server

    The SP reset button allows you to manually reset the SP. Use the reset button if the SP becomes unresponsive, requires a reset, or fails to boot into standby power mode (activating the button requires the use of a stylus).

    For location information, see Back Indicator Panel.

  • Host pinhole reset button on the back of the server

    The Host Reset button allows you to perform an immediate reboot of the server (activating the button requires the use of a stylus).

    For location information, see Back Indicator Panel.

  • NMI pinhole button on the back of the server

    The NMI button is used by Service personnel only. Do not press.

    For location information, see Back Indicator Panel.

  • CMOD Fault Remind button

    Each CMOD has a motherboard-mounted Fault Remind button. The button is part of the CMOD Fault Remind circuit. The circuit is charged and allows you to identify a failed DIMM or CPU after the CMOD has been removed for the server.

    For button location information, see CMOD Layout.

  • Sixteen (16) recessed ATTN (attention) buttons (two on each DPCC)

    The buttons are used to initiate DPCC removal and install. Before removing a DPCC, use a stylus to press both ATTN buttons. After installing a DPCC that contains a PCIe card, press the button again.

    For button location information, see Front Indicator Module (FIM) Panel and Back Indicator Panel.
