System Power Switch

Use the power switch to power the system unit on and off.

NOTICE: There is no need to manually shut down the HP-UX operating system on

your workstation before powering it off. When you turn off the power switch, your workstation automatically shuts down the operating system before terminating the power.

NOTICE: The C200/C240/C360 when turned off and plugged in will draw 30 watts

of power and the cooling fan may turn on.

Power LED

The power LED is located on the left side of the front panel on the disk tray . It lights when the system unit power is on and ﬂashes until the OS is booted. Once the OS is booted, the LED remains on without ﬂashing, indicating that a soft shutdown is enabled.

System LEDs

The Model C160/C180/C200/C240/C360 workstations have four diagnostic LEDs located next to the system power LED.

For more information on the error codes displayed by the diagnostic LEDs, see “LED Error Codes” in the chapter, “Solving Problems”.

Storage Device Controls and Features

The Model C160/C180/C200/C240/C360 workstations allow up to two of the following internal storage devices: CD-ROM drive, DDS tape drive, or ﬂoppy drive. The following sections describe the controls and features of these devices.

NOTICES: You may not have two of the same type of device. For example, you can

have a CD-ROM device and a ﬂoppy device, but not two CD-ROMs. Due to space limitations, a DDS-format tape drive and a CD-ROM drive

cannot both be mounted in the system at the same time.

DDS Tape Drive

Your DDS tape drive is either a DDS-DC (early or later model) or a DDS-2 tape drive with a 3.5-inch form factor, data compression, and a single-ended SCSI interface. Both drives incorporate data compression capability and are high-capacity, high transfer-rate devices for data storage on tape. With compression, the DDS-DC drives can store up to 4 GB of data on a 90 meter tape and the DDS-2 drive can store up to 8 GB of data on a 120 meter tape.
