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.
|

|
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.

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

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.

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.
