System LCD
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is located on the left side of the front panel. It displays messages about the state of the system, including error codes. The following symbols appear in the LCD, representing the different system activities shown:
Operating system running
Disk Access in progress
Network Receive in progress
Network Transmit in progress
Figure 1±2. LCD Symbols
System Power Switch
Use the Power switch to power the system unit on and off.
CAUTION: Do not turn off the power to your workstation without first performing the recommended shutdown procedure. If you do not shut down your workstation properly, you can damage the programs and data on your disk.
Using the proper shutdown method for your workstation and operating system also ensures that your system produces the proper diagnostic and self test messages, and broadcasts a warning message to remote terminals that it is about to shutdown.
1-7
If you are using HP-UX 9.05, the recommended method of shutting down your workstation is using the software command /etc/shutdown.
If you are using HP-UX 10.0 or later, follow the instructions in Using Your HP Workstation to shut down your workstation.
System Power LED
The Power Light Emitting Diode (LED) is located on the left side of the front panel. 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.
Removable Device Buttons and LEDs
Depending on your configuration, you can have up to two (2) of the following removable device drives:
•
•
•
CD-ROM disc drive
DDS tape drive
Floppy diskette drive
NOTICE: You cannot have two of the same type of device. For example, you can have a CD-ROM device and a floppy device, but not two CDROMs.
A description of each drive's controls and indicators is in the chapter describing that device, later in this book.
Figure 1±3 shows the system unit with the removable device door open. A removable device is in the top bay; a blank covers the empty bottom bay.

The symbols shown to the left of the connector descriptions in the following text, such as the headphone and microphone for audio connectors, are the same symbols used on the rear panel of the J Class workstation.
Audio Connectors
Your workstation has audio input and output capability through external input and output connectors on the rear panel and through an internal speaker. The rear panel contains the Audio IN (stereo line-in), Mic (microphone-in), Audio OUT (stereo line-out), and Headphones (headphones-out) connectors.
