Ethernet status LEDs

1 Ethernet link LED

2 Ethernet activity LED

  • Ethernet link LEDs: When these LEDs are lit, they indicate that there is an active link connection on the 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-TX interface for the Ethernet connector.
  • Ethernet activity LEDs: When these LEDs are lit, they indicate that there is activity between the server and the network.
  • ac power LED

  • dc power LED These LEDs show the status of the power supply. During normal operation, both of them are lit in green. For more power-supply status information, see Power-supply LEDs.

  • Power-supply error LED: When this yellow LED is lit, it indicates that the power supply has failed.
  • Power cord connector: Connect the power cord to this connector.
  • VGA connector: Connect a monitor to this connector.
  • USB connectors: Connect a USB device, such as a USB mouse, keyboard, or other device to any of these connectors.
  • Ethernet connectors: Use either of these connectors to connect the server to a network. When you use the Ethernet 1 connector, the network can be shared with the IMM2.1 through a single network cable.
  • NMI button: Press this button to force a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) to the microprocessor. By this way, you can blue screen the server and take a memory dump. You might have to use a pen or the end of a straightened paper clip to press the button.
    Note
    Use this button only when directed by the Lenovo service support.
  • PCI slot 1: This slot is dedicated to ServeRAID M1210 SAS/SATA controller.
  • PCI slot 2: This slot supports one PCI Express Gen3 x8 half-length, full-height adapter.
