About Your System

This section describes the physical, firmware, and software interface features that provide and ensure the essential functioning of your system. The physical connectors on your system’s front and back panels provide convenient connectivity and system expansion capability. The system firmware, applications, and operating systems monitor the system and component status and alert you when a problem arises. System conditions can be reported by any of the following:

• Front or back panel indicators

• System messages

• Warning messages

• Diagnostics messages

• Alert messages

This section describes each type of message, lists the possible causes, and provides steps to resolve any problems indicated by a message. The system indicators and features are illustrated in this section.

Other Information You May Need

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You

should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.

• Operating system documentation describes how to install (if necessary), configure, and use the operating system software.

• Documentation for any components you purchased separately provides information to configure and install these options.

• Updates are sometimes included with the system to describe changes to the system, software, and/or documentation.

NOTE: Always check for updates on support.dell.com and read the updates

first because they often supersede information in other documents.

• Release notes or readme files may be included to provide last-minute updates to the system or documentation or advanced technical reference material intended for experienced users or technicians.

Accessing System Features During Startup

Table 1-1 describes keystrokes that may be entered during startup to access system features. If your operating system begins to load before you enter the keystroke, allow the system to finish booting, and then restart your system and try again.

Table 1-1. Keystrokes for Accessing System Features

Keystroke Description

<F2> Enters the System Setup program. See "Using the System Setup

Program" on page 46.

<F10> Opens the utility partition, allowing you to run the system diagnostics.

The power button controls the DC power supply output to the system.

NOTE: If you turn off the system using the

power button and the system is running an ACPI-compliant operating system, the system performs a graceful shutdown before the power is turned off. If the system is not running an ACPI-compliant operating system, the power is turned off immediately after the power button is pressed.

driver errors when using certain operating systems. This button can be pressed using the end of a paper clip.

Use this button only if directed to do so by qualified support personnel or by the operating system's documentation.

Hard-Drive Indicator Codes

The hard-drive carriers have two indicators—the drive-activity indicator and the drive-status indicator. See Figure 1-2. In RAID configurations, the drivestatus indicator lights to indicate the status of the drive. In non-RAID configurations, only the drive-activity indicator lights; the drive-status indicator is off.

Connecting External Devices

When connecting external devices to your system, follow these guidelines:

• Most devices must be connected to a specific connector and device drivers must be installed before the device operates properly. (Device drivers are normally included with your operating system software or with the device itself.) See the documentation that accompanied the device for specific installation and configuration instructions.

• Always attach external devices while your system and the device are turned off. Next, turn on any external devices before turning on the system (unless the documentation for the device specifies otherwise).

For information about individual connectors, see "Jumpers and Connectors" on page 157. For information about enabling, disabling, and configuring I/O ports and connectors, see "Using the System Setup Program" on page 45.

Power Indicator Codes

The power button on the front panel controls the power input to the system's power supplies. The power indicator lights green when the system is on.

The indicators on the redundant power supplies show whether power is present or whether a power fault has occurred (see Figure 1-4). Table 1-4 lists the power supply indicator codes.

18 About Your System

Table 1-4. Redundant Power Supply Indicators

Indicator Function

Power supply status Green indicates that the power supply is operational.

LCD Status Messages

The system's control panel LCD provides status messages to signify when the system is operating correctly or when the system needs attention.

The LCD lights blue to indicate a normal operating condition, and lights amber to indicate an error condition. The LCD scrolls a message that includes a status code followed by descriptive text. Table 1-6 lists the LCD status messages that can occur and the probable cause for each message. The LCD messages refer to events recorded in the System Event Log (SEL). For information on the SEL and configuring system management settings, see the systems management software documentation.

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You

The system BIOS has disabled memory single-bit error (SBE) logging, and will not resume logging further SBEs until the system is rebooted. "##" represents the DIMM implicated by the BIOS. If no memory riser card is present, the "Crd #" string is left out of the message.

The system BIOS has spared the memory because it has determined that the memory had too many errors. "## & ##" represents the DIMM pair implicated by the BIOS. If no memory card is present, the "Crd #" string is left out of the message.

The system BIOS has disabled memory mirroring because it has determined that one half of the mirror has had too many errors. "## & ##" represents the DIMM pair implicated by the BIOS. If no memory card is present, the "Crd #" string is left out of the message.

One of the connections in the Fully Buffered DIMM (FBD) memory subsystem link on the Northbound side has failed.
