| Power button with integrated LED | The Power button toggles the system on and off.See “About the Power button LED states” on page 8. |
| Hard drive Activity LED | The drive activity LED on the front panel indicates drive activity from the on-board hard disk controllers. |
| System ID button with integrated LED | Integrated System ID button toggles the integrated ID LED an the blue server board LED on and off.The system ID LED identifies the system for maintenance when it is racked with similar server systems. |
| Network activity LEDs | The front control panel includes one LED for each of t 1 GB RJ45 port on the Quad Gigabit Ethernet OCP module.When network links are detected on the controllers, the LEDs are activated and remain solid green. The LEDs blink when network activity occurs, and the amount of network activity that occurs determines the rate at which they blink. |
| NMI button (recessed, tool required for use) | When it is depressed, the NMI button puts the appliance in a halt state, issues a non-maskable interrupt (NMI), a then triggers the non-maskable interrupt. All server data can be lost.It can only be accessed with a small sharp object such a pin or paperclip.Veritas recommends that you do not enable NMI by pressing the NMI button. |
| System Cold Reset button (recessed, tool required for on non-storage models) | When depressed, the System Cold Reset button restarts and re-initializes the appliance without shutting down gracefully.It can only be accessed with a small sharp object such a pin or paperclip. |
| System Status LED | The System Status LED is bi-color indicator that uses the colors green and amber to display the current health of the appliance.Two locations are provided for you to monitor the health of the system. You can find the first location on the f control panel, while the second location is located on th back edge of the server board. It is viewable from the of the appliance. Both LEDs show the same state of he See “About the System Status LED states” on page 9. |

About IPMI configuration
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (or IPMI) provides management monitoring capabilities independently of the host system's CPU, firmware, and operating system. You can configure the IPMI sub-system for your appliance can use the remote management port, located on the rear panel of the a to connect to the IPMI sub-system.
The following figure shows the remote management port (or the IPMI port) rear panel of the appliance:
natural_image
Back view of a server rack with ports, connectors, and ventilation fans (no readable text or symbols)The IPMI is beneficial after an unexpected power outage shuts down the system. In case the appliance is not accessible after the power is restored use a laptop or desktop computer to access the appliance remotely by us network connection to the hardware rather than to an operating system or shell. This enables you to control and monitor the appliance even if it is down, unresponsive, or without any operating system.
The following diagram illustrates how IPMI works:

The following are some of the main uses of IPMI:
■ Manage an appliance that is powered off or unresponsive. Using the IPM can power on, power off, or restart the appliance from a remote location
■ Provide out-of-band management and help manage situations where local physical access to the appliance is not possible or preferred like branch and remote data centers.
■ Access the appliance shell remotely using IPMI if regular network interface not possible.
Note: Only the appliance menu can be accessed by using the IPMI in The web console cannot be accessed by using the IPMI interface.
■ Reimage the appliance from the IPMI interface by using ISO redirection.
■ Monitor hardware health of the appliance from a remote location.
- Avoid messy cabling and hardware like keyboard, monitor, and mouse (K' solutions to access the appliance.

The networking ports are accessed on the rear panel of the device. The management (IPMI) port is for use by Veritas Technical Support staff or by field service technicians. The following picture shows the layout of the networks. It includes the four 1 Gb Ethernet ports. The Veritas Remote Manager Interface port is located to the left of the 1 Gb Ethernet ports.
Before configuration, host0 needs to be connected to an administrative network that does not provide any backup data transfer.
For configuration, host0 is required for the platform setup and at least one should be configured for the application instance.
Note: You cannot bond the copper 1 GbE port that are installed in the chassis with fibre ports on PCIe 10-GbE cards.
See "Connecting the power cords" on page 26.
Connecting the power cords
Each appliance contains two AC power supplies. To ensure power redundant connect the power supplies on each component to separate AC power sou
Caution: Do not turn on the power to any components while connecting t cords. The components must be turned on in a specific sequence to ensu communication.
To connect the power cables
