1 Ethernet port 1 and port 2 link (RJ-45) LED (green): When this LED is lit (green), it indicates that there is an active connection through the remote management and console (Ethernet) port 1 and port 2 to the management network.

2 Ethernet port 1 and port 2 activity (RJ-45) LED (green): When this LED is flashing (green), it indicates that there is an activity through the remote management and console (Ethernet) port 1 and port 2 over the management network.

3 USB connector: Insert the USB storage device to this connector and then press the USB port service mode button to collect FFDC logs.

4 Reset pinhole: Press the button for one to four seconds, SMM2 reboots. Press over four seconds, SMM2 reboots and loads to the default settings.

5 Power LED: When this LED is lit (green), it indicates that the SMM2 has power.

6 Status LED: This LED (green) indicates the operating status of the SMM2.

  • Continuously on: The SMM2 has encountered one or more problems.

  • Off: When the enclosure power is on, it indicates the SMM2 has encountered one or more problems.

  • Flashing: The SMM2 is working.

    • During the pre-boot process, the LED flashes rapidly.

      • Ten times per second: The SMM2 hardware is working and the firmware is ready to initialize.

      • Two times per second: The firmware is initializing.

    • When the pre-boot process is completed and the SMM2 is working correctly, the LED flashes at a slower speed (about once every two seconds).

7 Check log LED: When this LED is lit (yellow), it indicates that a system error has occurred. Check the SMM2 event log for additional information.

8 Identification LED: When this LED is lit (blue), it indicates the enclosure location in a rack.

9 USB port service mode button: Press this button to collect FFDC logs after inserting the USB storage device to the USB connector.

10 Ethernet port 2: Use this connector to access SMM2 management.

11 Ethernet port 1: Use this connector to access SMM2 management.
