Server component identification 78
When the boot device selector switch is set to FLP TOP, the optical drive in the bottom bay is designated
as the primary optical drive. The diskette drive in the top bay is bootable. The server cannot boot from a
diskette drive in the bottom bay when the boot device selector switch is set to FLP TOP.
When the boot device selector switch is set to FLP BOT, the optical drive in the top bay is designated as
the primary optical drive. The diskette drive in the bottom bay is bootable. The server cannot boot from a
diskette drive in the top bay when the boot device selector switch is set to FLP BOT.
NOTE: If two optical drives are installed in the server, the server will first attempt to boot from the primary
optical drive ("Boot device selector switch" on page 77). The boot device selector switch setting determines
which drive is the primary optical drive.
Switch setting Description
FLP TOP (default) Diskette drive in top bay is bootable
Primary optical drive in bottom bay is bootable
FLP BOT Primary optical drive in top bay is bootable
Diskette drive in bottom bay is bootable
QuickFind diagnostic display LEDs
The front panel health LEDs indicate only the current hardware status. In some situations, HP SIM might
report server status differently than the health LEDs because the software tracks more system attributes.
The amber QuickFind diagnostic display LEDs are located on the media board. In normal operations, all
of the LEDs are off unless one of the components fails.
