14 About Your System
LCD Panel Features
The system's LCD panel provides system information and status and error
messages to signify when the system is operating correctly or when the system
needs attention. See "LCD Status Messages" on page 22 for information
about specific status codes.
The LCD backlight lights blue during normal operating conditions and lights
amber to indicate an error condition. When the system is in standby mode,
the LCD backlight is off and can be turned on by pressing the Select button
on the LCD panel. The LCD backlight will remain off if LCD messaging is
turned off through the iDRAC6 utility, the LCD panel, or other tools.
