hot-swap server models, each hot-swap drive has a hard disk drive

activity LED. When this green LED is flashing, it indicates that the drive is

use.

Hot-swap hard disk drive status LED (some models)

hot-swap server models, each hot-swap hard disk drive has a amber
status LED. If the amber status LED for a drive is lit continuously, it
indicates that the individual drive is faulty. The interpretation of a flashing
amber status LED depends on the SCSI controller connected to the
hot-swap drive, as follows:

When the drive is connected to an optional ServeRAID controller, a slowly
flashing (one flash per second) amber status LED indicates that the drive is
being rebuilt. When the LED is flashing rapidly (three flashes per second), it
indicates that the controller is identifying the drive.

Configuring the Intel Gigabit Ethernet controller

The Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. It provides an interface
for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and provides full duplex
(FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on
the network. If the Ethernet port in your server supports auto-negotiation, the
controller detects the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T)
and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically
operates at that rate and mode.

You do not need to set any jumpers or configure the controller. However, you must
install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controller. For
updated information about configuring the controller, go to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.
