Physical and Electrical Description 2.3.3 Intel® Local Control Panel for EPSD Platforms TPS LCD Backlight LEDs The LCD has two backlight colors (green and amber). Under normal conditions the backlight is to be driven green by the BMC. When a problem is detected with the server, the BMC will deactivate the green backlight and turns-on the amber backlight. When the baseboard BMC detects the problem has been cleared, the amber backlight is deactivated to turn-on the green backlight. 2.3.
Intel® Local Control Panel for EPSD Platforms TPS 3. Firmware Functional Specification 3.1 Overview Firmware Functional Specification LCD (Local Control Display) is a one line character display that resides on the front panel of a chassis. It can display maximum of 16 characters at a time. However, a few special characters such as {, }, `, ~, and ^ are not available in the current LCD controller supported set of characters. So these characters are mapped to their nearest lookalike characters of LCD.
